My Summary

My Experience

I am a parent to 2 children- now 27 & 29. I have raised both well. My daughter has recently completed her masters at Warwick University and my son is a teacher. I was solely responsible for all childcare whilst having a full time job for the duration of their lives. Some of my main responsibilities included ensuring my children were always safe and healthy, helping them complete homework, cooking and feeding them, organizing educational activities, organizing wake-up and bedtime, making sure they're washed, & taking them to-and-from school.

I have regularly babysat children within my family unite as well as children outside of my family. I have babysitting in this manner for for over 30 years. Within my family I have looked after my siblings, cousins, and nieces and nephews. Outside of my family I have looked after friends children and neighbor's children. My main responsibilities have included (but are not limited to) ensuring the children were always safe and healthy, helping them complete homework, cooking and feeding them, organizing educational activities, dressing them, organizing wake-up and bedtimes, teaching them either French or Arabic, making sure they're washed, & taking them to-and-from school.

I have been a part time Nanny for the past 4 years, most recently looking after 2 beautiful children- ages 5 & 7. Within this role I have helped with potty training, language learning, homework, taking them to-and-from school, attending school activity days, organizing breakfast and dinner meals, prepping the kids for bedtime, organizing educational activities, planning birthday parties, attending doctor appointments & washing the children.
