After School Care Wincanton

| I previously was a level 3 early years educator apprentice in a pre-school and worked in an after school club in a primary school. I have been babysitting since the age of 14 for ages between 3 and 12. I like to encourage the children to be outside and how to use the outside not only to have fun but to learn.

| I have just finished my second year at Norland Nanny College. I have had many years of childcare experience ranging from newborn to teenagers. I started helping my Mum look after my 3 younger sisters at the age of 12 as she became a single parent. My sisters were then 9 months, 3 and 10 years old. I have continued to help her and have gained many skills (including a great deal of patience!) along the way. This then lead me to Nanny after School and at weekends for local families. I also did various work experience placements at a local Nursery and at a Primary School with Years 1 and 4. Receiving a place at Norland college is my biggest achievement so far. I gained many skills including cooking nutritional and balanced healthy meals for children of all ages including those with dietary needs, bottle feeding, weaning and the introduction of finger foods. I have learnt fun and safe ways for bathing, changing nappies, health and safety and first aid. My two years at Norland also gave me life time friends and experiences and I will forever be grateful for that. I have a full clean driving license and am DBS checked.

| I have been babysitting for 4 nearly 5 years. i have looked after children with autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, medical conditions and much more! I have worked in the age range of newborn- 15 years old and babysat multiply children at a time. I try and my best to do activities with the children to make it a positive experience for them and often send parents updates of what we are doing throughout the day. I have done overnight care, care for up to 3 days at a time, school runs, homework help, after school activities and general childcare. i have helped out at camps and day trips looking after a group of children on my own, making sure the are safe and happy throughout the day.

| Hi! I am a confident, friendly and responsible graduate with many years of childcare experience. I am currently completing postgraduate study towards becoming an educational psychologist, focusing on children and young people with autism. I have lots of skills and experince in fields such as Speech Therapy, Makaton Sign Language and Tutoring. I recently helped to run an after school debating club for low-income children. I am a happy, fun and kind person who loves working with kids and I would love to nanny your children over the summer whilst I have a break from studying.
