About Me

I offer Babysitting and childcare and I have paediatric first aid.

My Experience

I have a psychology degree, and have always been interested in children's welfare, health and wellbeing.

Very little phases me when it comes to looking after kids. I treat them as if they were my own, especially when it comes to discipline /guiding them in the right direction (in an empowering way).

-I've been volunteering for Slough Mencap for the last 16 years, with adults with learning disabilities, so I have extensive special needs experience.

-I'm currently looking after a 9 year old autistic girl, every day after school for 2 hours (since the beginning of 2022). I prepare her a snack and engage with her in activities, reading and tuition, and I proactively encourage her social skills.

I've also completed a 12 week drawing and talking block of sessions with her, to help her to express difficulties that she was facing with her peers at school.

-I have worked as a Childminder assistant in Windsor; working with 11 children (babies and young children).
- I have an up to date DBS and I've been ofsted approved (hold an EY2).

-I have a paediatric first aid qualification
-I have attended a first aid training course for adults and children.

-I looked after 2 siblings, aged 9 y/o and 16 y/o in Windsor; both of whom had PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance).
-Looking after my niece and nephews
-Volunteering at mothers and toddlers

My Qualifications

I don't have any formal qualifications with regard to childcare, but I have gained a lot of first hand experience (as previously mentioned).

I have a Psychology BA degree, I teach karate to children as young as 5 years old, and I have also coached on several Leadership programmes for Landmark Worldwide in London, as well as being a trained listener. So, I feel that I'm able to effectively handle variety of situations and /or concerns that you may have about your child/children.

I am a confident individual who loves to be challenged and I see very little as overwhelming/unachievable. I'm flexible and am always happy to learn on the job. I don't profess to know it all and will happily admit when I don't know something /need help in understanding something.

Can I ask that you kindly review my fees to make sure you're happy with them before contacting me.

I am available for baby sitting /childcare on Monday and Friday evenings, and Saturdays and Sundays (if required).
I can also be available weekdays until 1:30pm (if required).
