After School Care Gloucester

| Hello, my name is Lydia and I am 21 years old. I am currently in my 2nd Year of University studying to be a Children’s Nurse. I have previously worked in a Nursery and After-School club, working with children at a range of ages. I am first-aid trained, DBS checked and can care for children with additional and complex needs. I am looking for flexible hours to fit around studying and placement, however have my availability far in advance.

| Experience: I looking after children in 2016 and have enjoyed spending time with and looking after children ever since. These children were aged 2 - 7, and I’ve also cared for my own sibling after school through the ages of 8 - 15. My usual duties while caring for children include: Cooking balanced meals (that are also fun and inviting for children), bedtime routines, helping with schoolwork, playtime, and cleaning. (I've put 2 years exp. as I my eight years experience was more 'as and when', so would be more equal to 2 years of full time experience). I also have experience with: Dogs, cats, Hamsters, Rodents, Fish and Birds. Duties usually include: Feeding, Walking, Cleaning and lots of cuddles and playtime! So am happy to care for the pets in your home also. More about me: I enjoy reading, writing, and am an aspiring actor. I currently work as an event medic and have First Aid and BSL qualifications. I love the outside and am happy to take children in my care on walks to the park or just to get some fresh air. I enjoy Disney and family animated films so spending an evening rewatching your child's favourite film four times in a row actually sounds like my ideal evening! I don't drink, smoke, or vape.

| Hi, I’m Michaela, I’m 24 and I’m looking for a little work on the side of my current job. I am a qualified primary and early years teacher, but I currently do supply to gain more experience and continue professional development. I often take up nursery work during school holidays, but would like to take up baby sitting too. During term time I am available to babysit Wednesday afternoons and Monday-Friday weeknights (after school) and some weekends if asked. However, during the holidays I am available to babysit during week days.

| I have years experience both Nanny and in Nursery Childcare. My most recent position was as a Nanny to a family with 5 children (3 of whom were under school age - a set of baby twins and a toddler). I looked after the girls in their home on a daily basis and prepared lunches, did some light housework such as making beds, tidying up and ironing when children were napping. I am a massive fan of getting children out and about to experience activities in the area - often going to the park, toddler groups, activities such as baby ballet, monkey music, swimming (dependent on number of children). I have a QCF Level 3 Qualification in Childcare in addition to being a Level 5 qualified dance teacher. I have an enhanced DBS. I have a full clean UK driving license and am paediatric first aid trained. I am available for late afternoon (sort of 4.30pm onwards) and evenings during the week, and most times at the weekends.

| I am 19 and I am currently taking a gap year from university. A bit about me, whilst attending university I was required to attend placement at a primary school. I worked doing pastoral work in doing three or four sessions a week with children of different ages in the school. I would do barrier games with the children, and it helped me to start forming relationships.I was offered a part time job at the school as a SEN teaching assistant which I have gained a lot of experience from.I run after school club in the week, I am able to spend extra time with the children, and play games with them outside, and make them snacks and help form a good relationship with them. I worked in a school setting with children for seven months, I am also the eldest child in my family so have looked after my two younger sisters on many many occasions. In this time I have worked closely with children who find learning challenging, or have complex needs and learning needs to be looked at in a different way for them. I have also worked closely with the class teaching assistant in year 4, and have started to help run intervention groups, and done a handful myself which has helped me with activities for children and making them up myself.

| I have between 3 and 4 years of EYFS teaching assistant experience as well as managing an after school club for ages 4-12. Although I do not drive, I am happy to do walking-pick ups or alternative pick ups and drop offs (such as using bus or taxi) approved by you. I also own a food hygiene and preparation licence, with great understanding of nutrition as well as allergens if this is of any concern. I love all animals too, if there are pets that will also need any attention.

I am pediatric first aid trained, safeguarding trained and hold a level 2 in childcare. I have also special needs experience particularly with autism. I look forward to hearing from you.

| Hi, I’m Rosa. I currently work part time as a play worker in breakfast, after school and holiday clubs through ‘All my friends Childcare’. Here I look after 5 to 11 year olds in brockworth and Barnwood. So far I have training in child protection, food and hygiene and protect duty. I will be expanding my learning over the coming months. I regularly look after two primary school aged children, one of which has special educational needs (SEN). I have learnt how to support both children’s unique needs and created a predictable routine they are both familiar with. A key part of this has been working with and learning from their parent’s who of course know them best. I have also developed a range of activities that help if they’re overstimulated, frustrated or uncooperative. The adaptability and patience I have learnt through this experience means that I feel confident in helping multiple children simultaneously, I am able to appropriate my actions to their needs and figure out how they best communicate. Moreover, I really enjoy caring for them. We read stories, play games and get creative. I find it such a rewarding thing to do and the fun far outweighs the challenges.

| I worked in a nursery for two years, I traveled between the baby room, toddler room and ore-school room, I also used to pick up the after school children and do activities with them until collection time. In the nursery I would plan fun learning activities for the children and ensure that they were engaging. I had 6 key children so I had to ensure they were meeting their next steps and if they weren’t I would plan activities to help them along. I recently just finished covering for another nanny who was off sick. I was there for just over a month. I did the school runs in the morning and afternoon for the eldest boy and during the day I planned fun activities and days out for the youngest.

| I am an enthusiastic, caring and fair young woman who has been nannying and babysitting for a number of families for 4 years. I enjoy spending time with the children through games, playing outdoors and baking etc. I am originally from Gloucestershire and live in a rural village therefore I have spent a lot of time with animals and in the countryside however I now live in Cardiff for university. Through my job as a nanny I have done school pick up/drop off, taken the children out on day trips, taken the children to their after-school activities, helped with homework, cooked dinner, bathed and put to bed and helped with some light household duties - all while ensuring the children are enjoying themselves. Alongside being a nanny/babysitter, I work at Manor Farm Holiday Care and Home Education throughout school holidays where I supervise a number of children within our care. This job involves getting 'stuck in' with activities while ensuring the children are safe. I am in my second year of university studying Environmental Geography. In my free time I enjoy horse-riding, spending time with my friends and walking my dogs. I am fully DBS checked and passed ITC Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid. I have a full UK driving license.

| I am a mum to 3 children, well youngest is now 18, 2 girls and a boy. I am very calm and understanding. I enjoy cooking and baking, riding my pony and walking my dogs. I was looking after 2 young boys for 18 months, 2 and 4, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but was no longer needed as Mum decided not to work anymore as she was commuting to London. I did school runs, cooked for them daily, organised weekly menus, washing and ironing, walked the dog and light housekeeping, including occasional overnight stays. I have more recently been looking after 4 year old twins in a similar role I helped a young family with their 2 year old little boy. Sadly, this came to an end because of COVID-19. I am currently working in a day nursery covering 3 hours daily over lunchtime, so I can be available from 3pm for after school care and also babysitting. I have also worked on the bank staff for the NHS nursery, as and when. Two of the children that I have looked after were on Myplan so I do also have experience of this. I am always keen to help out whenever I can, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.
