After School Care Westhill

| Throughout my childhood I have travelled and had the opportunity to live in Houston, Texas, where I often spent my weekends babysitting and helping families with school drop off, pick ups, and after school care. This also lead to overnight stays and care throughout the week. In my spare time I have volunteered in orphanages in Costa Rica as well as Florida. I further volunteered at a homeless shelter in Houston. I enjoyed coaching a netball team of children from ages 7-11 and encouraged them to push themselves to do their very best. I am a kind, caring and social person who goes the extra mile to help and ensure that the best possible care is given to the children. I am motivated by watching children grow and succeed. I am currently studying a HNC in Childhood Practice with hope to further my studies in Primary School Teaching. I hold a level 2 food preparation certificate and have done standard first aid training. I look forward to building bonds with families and providing the best care for their child to grow as an individual and develop.

| I have previously (in 2018) cared for a 8 and 10year old, three times a week after school. I would take them to the park, do arts and crafts or play football with them. I also prepared snacks and did the dishes where needed. Prior to that, I babysat for a young girl throughout several years on and off. This also included being active, giving her baths and preparing meals, occasionally putting her to bed. I am the type of person who loves to be busy, and be creative and join in with playing.

| I have 7 years experience working within the childcare profession at various nurseries and after school clubs in and around Aberdeen. I am a polite and understanding carer who is able to evaluate the needs of any child I care for and can adopt a plan to ensure I get the best out of the child in terms of learning and engagement. I am keen to ensure that I can create a working relationship with the parents/carers to ensure we can both create a plan that will ensure the children receive the best care possible and an environment where they can learn and thrive. I am available to do: - Pick up/Drop off - Activities (Indoor and Outdoor) -Meal Prep and Cooking -Bathing -Homework help -General Housekeeping I am a very enthusiastic 23 year old (7 years nursery experience) who loves working with children and ensuring I build a relationship with them and the parents that allows them to thrive while being in my care. I currently have a drivers license and a car of which I am happy to use while caring for the children. Along with this, I am a non-smoker and comfortable around pets.

| Hi there! My name is Allison and I am a nanny from the United States of America! I recently moved to Aberdeen, but worked as a nanny in the USA, and worked at a nursery in Edinburgh. When I was a nanny, I cared for a 12 year old child with special needs, an 8 year old, a 3 year old, and an 8 month old, all within the same household. I woke the kids up, got them ready for school, helped with homework, gave medicine, changed diapers, made dinner, did laundry, and put the children to sleep. While in Edinburgh, I worked as a playworker at an after school nursery. The children were between the ages of 5-13, and I worked to entertain them, pick them up from school, administer first aid, and cooked and baked with the children. I am great with children and love working with them, and can't wait to meet your family!

| My name is Tanit and I am from Barcelona (Catalonia). I love spending my spare time outdoors, cooking or bakings and doing arts and craft, painting, drawing, anything creative really. I am fluent in catalan, spanish and english. I am currently studying Primary Education. I have been working as a summer camp counsellor since 2015, I love spending my free time outdoors or doing arts and craft. I have worked as a general summer camp counsellor as well as a special needs counsellor, as I have been responsible for a little girl that has epilepsy during the last 3 years. I have also been an after school activities monitor, teaching children from the age of 3 to 8 some basic science, maths and robotics. In 2018 I went to live in Aberdeen and worked as an au pair with an 8 year old and a 12 year old.

| Hello, I am 20 years old, originally from Germany and in my first year studying at RGU. I have plenty of experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 15 and would be happy to work with children from 15 months onwards. From 2011 to 2016 I did regular volunteering with children in my church. This consisted of events for many different age groups. We did a monthly service for children, mornings full of indoor and outdoor games to keep the children busy during holidays and religious weekends for teenagers to name a few. In 2014 I took part in a youth camp, where two other group leaders and I were solely responsible for 11 children (aged 7 and 8) for ten days. During those five years I learnt a lot about child development, adapting to children with different personalities (introverted, extroverted etc.) and quickly getting to know new children and involving them in the group. From summer 2016 to summer 2017 I was an Au Pair in England for a family with two girls (aged 6 and 7). My role here consisted of cooking, helping with homework, playing with them, regular babysitting in the evenings and most other things a parent does. I learnt a lot about patience, responsibility, problem-solving and supporting children in their development. Counting all the hours together I have around 2000 hours of childcare experience. I am available for regular and occasional babysitting on most days of the week. For regular babysitting I would prefer up to three times a week, as I still need enough time to concentrate on my studies. I am also available for afternoon care on Wednesdays, and the weekend. However, I am looking for a job of around 10 hours a week, so either babysitting or one day of childcare. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

| I have looked after children since I was 16 years old for extra money during the summer period to gain work experience and to do something beneficial with my summer. I really enjoyed my time getting to know the kids and was always excited when I woke up in the morning as everyday is different and a new challenge. I am also very passionate about sport specifically football and keeping fit. I ran a junior girls football team when I was in high school and I recently ran a primary school fitness class after school for my college course. This allowed me to deal with all types of challenges and problems and gave me experience in how to resolve and deal with children in the best way possible.

| I am a 21 year old student who loves kids! From babysitting at home to serving on the kids team at church, I am encouraged to see the next generation grow and learn from them.

I am eager for children to get outside, explore nature and have fun! I am also an avid reader so I love getting children excited to read and I have fun reading them books. I have experience providing childcare to 4 siblings while at home from university during the summer and winter breaks. In this role, I was responsible for the older children coming home from school safely, helping with homework and encouraging them to help with chores, preparing food for snack and dinner time, organising fun and entertaining after-school activities from adventure walks in the park to arts and crafts at home. During the day I was responsible for ensuring the toddler went down and woke up from naps at required times, did necessary nappy changes and bathing, and conducted light housework. Occasionally, I was responsible for the children late into the evening, ensuring the children went to bed at the requested times by the parents.

I have been working since I was 16, starting out in cafes and restaurants and bed and breakfasts.
