| Hi, My name is Leanne. I have roughly 12 years experience working with children through nursery work and nannying. I have mainly worked with ages 2-4 however i have done some after school club work which meant caring for children up to 8 and my nannying and babysitting positions include all ages up to 14. I love working with children and providing a safe and stimulating environment for them. My main role now is that of a part time nanny allowing me to take adhoc work and continue my studies in midwifery. I love being a nanny as it allows me to put my attention into families to provide them with reassurance that their child is being well looked after and happy!

My years of experience have enabled me to be the best child carer i can be. I am friendly, approachable and would love to help a family in need. :)

| Hi, my name is Michaella. and I'm currently a 3rd costume design student at Arts University Bournemouth. Back in America I have at least 7 years of childcare experience. I was a camp counselor for 3 years. In that time I also gained experience working with special needs children. Back home I also do princess birthday parties. With that I work with many children of different ages. We sing songs, dance, I make balloon animals and do face painting. Before coming here in September, I was a nanny for an 8 year old girl. I watched her 3 days a week and normally took her someplace everyday. I usually ended up watching 3-6 kids though because of her friends next door. Among those 6 was a one year old who I had no issues taking care of. Before this past summer, baby sitter for two children that I picked up from school and watch them until their parents were home. I also did slight meal prep when it came to giving them after school snacks. Along with work experience, I'm and aunt of 14 (15th one due in October). My oldest Niece is 21 and my youngest is 6 months, so I have experience dealing with every age. I do have a UK work visa and valid passport.

I have worked in a range of settings including schools as a teaching assistant, schools as an after school club provider, head of early years at a stage school and I now run my own dance academy in Corfe Mullen. I absolutely love my job and I love working with children. I run dance and performing arts classes for ages 2-18years so have a wide range of experience with all aged children. My job enables me to be creative and imaginative whilst helping children learn. With the current lockdown I am looking to help some families with any child care needs by using my experience in working with children to help with home schooling, childcare, or any needs the family have. I am bubbling, friendly and would love to help a local family during lockdown (and after if required as my classes are only evenings). I would love to hear from you.

I really enjoy looking after children, being a part of their growing and developing. I have enjoyed looking after a range of ages in nurseries and now am looking to further my experience being a nanny. I enjoy the one to one support with a child being a nanny and hope to become part of the family. I love constantly learning and developing my education. I have lived all my life in Bournemouth.

| I have been nannying in bristol for a year now, which I do between my medical school studies. During term time I look after 2 families on different days of the week, one of 2 girls age 8 and 10 and the other age 2 and 5. This entails picking the girls up to and from school, lifting them to after school clubs, helping with homework and playing / chatting! For the second younger family, I lift between nursery or school back home, often in the car or we scooter home! I love cooking dinner for the children, and help with bath time and bedtime routines, often staying late to babysit overnight. I love babysitting, and have been doing so for my younger cousins for many years. Nannying this year has consolidated my love for working with children as well as sparking my interest for paediatric medicine, a field which I will experience during my placement this year! As a medical student, I am confident in overlooking children’s health and seeing to first aid when needed. I plan to continue looking after my current two families when term time recommences, but am keen to continue nannying throughout the school holidays as well.
