| I am a friendly, bubbly individual who has just finished studying the PGDE to become a primary school teacher. I have a passion for working with children and I have experience working with all ages (new born to late teens). Over the past 14 years I have worked in a variety of settings ; nannying overseas, after school clubs, youth agency's, learning assistant in a primary school, residential care, home schooling and babysitting.I am confident and great at interacting with children and in my previous jobs have excelled in engaging the children in different activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor games, imaginative play, extending learning as well as making lunches, dinners, light cleaning duties etc. With my aim to provide a nurturing environment. I spent a year living in Dumfries and Galloway working as a learning assistant in a primary school, and whilst doing that I also worked for a couple of families babysitting casually in evenings, weekends and school holidays, so I am hoping I can find the same here. All the families I have worked for over the years I have created amazing bonds, not only with the children, but the parents too. Feel free to message for more info on my experience.*please note I start teaching in August,

| I have experience with children of ages 0-13 years. My last job I worked as a nanny in the french alps for 4 months caring for children of all ages. My experience is mainly focused on the younger side (1-4), however I’m comfortable caring for any ages. During my last job, my role was very diverse, caring for different age ranges and multiple children at once. We would take older children to ski lessons and ski alongside them, then cook a healthy lunch and after that carry out a fun afternoon activity that all ages could enjoy. I also have some experience with children with additional needs from volunteering at local summer playschemes. I’ve also carried out babysitting for multiple families over the years. I have taken maths and sciences to a level (achieving AAA), so I would also be prepared to help with tutoring. I'm available for an immediate start until early to mid September and I'm looking for work during the weekdays. I may be able to work occasional weekends.

| I am 23 years old and have just graduated from Stirling University with a degree in French and Spanish. I come from a very sporty and outgoing family. I love to travel, read and spend time outdoors. Singing is another hobby of mine. I am looking for some summer work before i start my primary teacher training degree in August/September. I have a lot of experience of working with children. From a young age I often looked after my younger brother and sister and my godson and I also have a number of other families which I have often babysat for. I worked with Supermums Childcare Agency for 4 years when I worked in different nurseries, crèches and after school clubs across Edinburgh. Through the agency I have also done lots of babysitting and nanny work for various different families. Before I started my undergraduate degree i spent 1 year volunteering at a local primary school where I worked with two primary one classes. I helped the children to develop their academic skills as well as helping them with day-to-day tasks and helping them to adjust to being at school.

| Hi there! I am a responsible individual native in Spanish but also fluent in English. Although I don't have official previous experience in childcare I feel quite confident in the position since I had to take care of younger siblings and nephews since I was basically a teenage. Culture and art are very important for me, that is why I always enjoy to combine learning with playing. I am also a film and psychology student and since my lectures take place in the morning I'll be completely available in the afternoon. I am also available to start asap. My cooking skills include the making of very healthy and tasty Spanish recipes! Please, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

| I have worked with children since I was 16 years old, I am a very caring and gentle person and love working with and playing with children. I also have experience in after school clubs so will have no issue with helping with homework.

| My name is Kirsty, I have just arrived back in England after 2 years in New Zealand, of which 1 year was spent as an Au Pair for a lovely family near Christchurch. I lived in with the family and looked after 3 children whilst the parents we at work or social events. When I started the children were 3, 5 and 7 years old, 2 girls and one boy. I was in charge of getting them ready for school, to and from school/preschool, after school activities, homework tasks, fun activities, household chores and also preparing and cooking meals for the family. Before starting this job, I completed a Child First Aid course. In addition, I babysat for other families in the area including overnight stays. I also volunteered at a local Nursery School when I was younger and volunteered at Upton House to help organise and run events such as the Easter Egg trail. I am an active, happy and motivated person, I love working with kids and I love being able to help busy parents out with childcare and tasks around the house.

| I have 5 months experience working as a play worker doing both breakfast and after school clubs from p1-p7 ages and I have 4 years experience babysitting my youngest niece since she was born, I am working towards my paediatric first aid, child protection awareness course and food hygiene course, I am reliable and hardworking. I am available 9am-2pm Monday to Thursday and I’m available any time after 6pm Monday-Friday and I am available all day Saturday-Sunday

| I have been babysitting since I was a child myself. I’ve babysat cousins, siblings, friends of the family and families I didn’t know in advance. I have also worked at an after school club for 4 years, and worked as manager of the same after school club for a year. The after school club had up to 70 children aged 6-11, and I would lead drama club, arts and crafts, football and just play. In addition to this I’ve worked as an Au Pair for about a year, and I’ve worked at a primary school as a pupil support assistant. I think the reason why children really like me is that while I’m positive, happy and outgoing, I am also calm. I will listen to them, see them and I genuinely care. Even if this means listening to hours of chat about video games! A parent once told me that they felt safe knowing I was there to watch their children, and that the children were always so excited that I was coming over that they didn’t feel anxious about the parents being away for the evening. I’m planning to train as a Primary Teacher, but not until September 2023. I miss working with children, and would love to work as a babysitter again. I’m free all day Friday - Sunday, and available weekday afternoons/evenings.

| Hi, I'm Victoria I am currently a student looking for a job in childcare while studying in Edinburgh. I'm based in Newington but am willing to travel for a position. I'm an enthusiastic and caring person who loves working with children of all ages in a variety of situations. My previous experience includes babysitting for 4 years for 2 families of 3 children each on a weekly basis. I helped with dinner, homework and bedtime. For 4 years, I've assisted with holiday clubs for large groups doing a variety of activities and taught dance to children aged 2-13 years for 5 years. I volunteered at an after school club for children with a variety of special needs, which I found truly enjoyable and rewarding. I'm July and August 2016, I worked as a childcare assistant at a member's club hotel near Inverness, looking after children in a range of activities, with children aged from 1 year to 16 years old. For 2017, I had a summer job looking after a six year old one-on-one during the school holidays. With each different experience, I have learnt to adjust my care to suit the child and the situation, preparing me for new childcare scenarios. I currently study Psychology at The University of Edinburgh. Outside of academics, I cheer with my University team and have dance for 14 years. I love all sorts of activities, from sporty and outdoor adventures to a quiet day inside with board games and baking. I've really enjoyed all these experiences and would hope to be able to help you in anything you need!

| Hello I am Toni, an experienced babysitter/nanny from Germany. For me it is important to treat children as an equal and to listen to them as I would do with any person. They should find their ideas and interests in their own way and grow in their creativity. I have a certification as a “youth leader” (It is a German course in which you are trained to look after groups of children and individuals). I worked on a farm for children - where they spend time after school - for more than one year. Please note: I do not have a credit card so unfortunately I can’t buy the premium membership. Otherwise I really would like to send you a personal message! Thanks for your comprehension.

| I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at Queen Margaret University. I have been working in Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh for the last three years and I have gained very valuable knowledge and experience. I love children and I am great at taking care of them, helping them with homework or taking them to extra-curricular activities after school. I am really good at establishing connection with the child as well as following guidance given by their parents.

I have always been considered as a very optimistic, friendly character that is always willing to meet new people and welcome anyone new. I’m a motivated person who is open to develop and improve my ability in any job role possible. Gingerbread is a very popular charity-based childcare business. They give single mothers a chance to work whilst letting their children have the best experience they can within Gingerbread’s facilities. Throughout my job experiences, this one was the most fulfilling and rewarding, but came with difficult tasks. Even though working with children seems like a bundle of fun and games, there were a great number of policies and procedures that had to be strictly carried out. I cared for children that ranged from the age of 3 to 16 and there were around 20 to 30 children in the after-school club each day. Each child came with an individual record and some with learning difficulties such as: down-syndrome; autism; learning difficulties; ADHD and more. Caring for each child individually, understanding each one of their needs and working with them in a way that would ensure the best comfort for them was mandatory. I created a lot of bonds with the children, ones that will always be remembered.

| My name is Iris , I am 19 years old, and I am a French student at the University of Edinburgh (Economics). I have great work experience in the babysitting field. I worked for more than two years as a baby-sitter every Saturday for a family with a three-month-old baby and a 3 years-old child. They recommended my services in my neighborhood that’s why I had the opportunity to take care of other children (up to ten-years-old and including a disabled child). From September to December this 2019, I did the after school care of two boys (who are 4 and 7) three days a week in Edinburgh which got on very well. I naturally have good contacts with children and I have always made sure they spend a good time with me, taking every week a new activity for them. I am a very good student, who can help with the homework if necessary. I also love sports as I am a gymnast! I can cook simple meals and help with the chores. If you want me to, I can also try to teach French to your children, as it is my mother tongue! Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to interview me or if you have any questions :)

| My name is Stella. I have been babysitting my neighbour's children for the last two years (ages 4 and 6) and have been employed by several families from my previous school as a babysitter and childminder. I also worked for a year in an after school child minding service for which I supervised the children playing and brought them to after-school clubs and activities. I am a responsible, hard-working and enthusiastic student, looking for part time work to earn a bit of cash during my studies! I enjoy working with young people and can be flexible with hours and times. I am Scottish-Dutch but speak 4 languages in total and would be happy to help kids with any school work.

| Hello! My name is Melody and I'm an undergraduate student studying Politics and Spanish at the University of Edinburgh. I love working with children and have been volunteering and working with them for many years now. I volunteered with Brownies for 2 years as a Young Leader and have years of babysitting experience. I also work as a Playworker at a holiday and after school club (ages 4-14), which includes facilitating play and all kinds of activities. Here I also provide one to one support for children with disabilities and other special educational needs. Additionally, I have taught children to play piano and to read. I am DBS checked. My approach to working with children is always to encourage play as their primary means of social, emotional, and physical development, to give them the skills that provide foundations for a happy life!

| I worked as a Sessional Childcare Worker at North Edinburgh childcare, a nursery that offers care and early years education to children from as young as 6 months old to 5 years old. My role involved creating fun activities and educational games for the children so they could learn and become more confident in their own skills. I also worked at both After School and Breakfast clubs, helping children with their homework, creating interesting team games with them, and providing snacks. Previously I was an English and Art teacher at a primary school in Portugal, and was able to develop my skills learning how to provide them with care, fun and knowledge simultaneously. I speak portuguese and spanish fluently and also really enjoy cooking and baking so I would love to share these passions when working with kids! I'm very interested in Art and History and study Archaeology which allows me to design different child friendly activities that are entertaining and confidence building
