My Summary
About Me
*AVAILABILITY UPDATE 15/10/24: I’m looking for a local families who need ad-hoc babysitting or regular week-day childcare. I am travelling 30th December-10th March 2025 but other than that I have a lot of availability*
Hi! I'm Isobel. A 21-year-old who's just graduated from university. I grew up in Devon and am based in Rockbeare, Exeter. I spend my free time scrapbooking, dancing in my room, crafting and travelling. I am currently building my photography business from the ground up and looking for ad-hoc babysitting and weekday childcare jobs to keep me busy.
My Experience
During my teen years, I did the odd babysitting for local families. I also did a week of work experience at a local primary school where I learned a lot about managing multiple children and keeping them engaged. I have been a nanny for 2 families (both with 2 kids) during my time as a student in Bristol (3 years) as well as ad-hoc babysitting for other families. The ages of the children I've looked after range from 3-13 and babies from 4 months - 36 months. I have a lot of experience with school runs, activities, bath time and bedtime.
I am genuinely passionate about helping children grow and develop by creating a safe environment. I am very creative and love arts and crafts. The kids I look after are often encouraged to express their feelings through painting, drawing, colouring, and other craft projects. I take a strong interest in what the kids make and love it when they excitedly explain their creations to me. I also really like to encourage make-believe and often use it as a tool to teach life skills or help them reflect on their experiences. I am extremely tidy and organised. I can't help but clean up everywhere I go and I'll always arrive on time. I've been told I have a friendly and calming nature- ideal for child care! and I've won over a lot of shy/apprehensive kids.
I remember feeling misunderstood and disrespected as a child- I want to make sure the kids today feel secure and confident and teach them the tools they need to deal with tricky emotions and situations. I am passionate about giving children patience, respect and the tools to grow and develop.
My Qualifications
I have 3 A-Levels at ABB: Photography, Film-Studies and 'Film and Video' and a BA in Photography. I am a super creative person and am more than happy to set up and assist your child with arts and crafts and of course, any other activities for entertainment and enrichment. My degree is in Photography. I have a basic DBS check.
