Fun, organized, and creative with lots of previous experience in child care and academic!

Hi! My name is Claire.I was born in the US, and grew up in Arizona. My family moved to London three years ago and now I go to University at Cardiff Uni! I have always been passionate about child care and child development. I have worked as a babysitter since I was 13, starting off with watching family friends children after school for 4-7 hours (sometimes going into the evening). Once I moved to London, I worked for families where I would watch their children almost every day after school and sometimes overnight on weekends. I have volunteered at after-school programs playing with kids, helping them complete homework and make friends (twice a week for a year). I have also worked as a tutor, every day after school for two years and as a teachers assistant for two hours during the school week every day for two years. I love playing fun games with kids, seeing what their minds can come up with, and love inventing new ways for us to have fun and keep busy. However, I also understand the importance of needing down time/rest time and will always pay attention to children’s needs and what makes them feel the most comfortable and happy.
