I am a child carer with 11 years of experience.
| Hi, my name is Shannon. I have cared for young children and young adults for 11 years now. I started working when I was 13, I am now 24 years old. Usually I care for children with disabilities and support the family with care at home or taking them out for the day. However I have also had experience with mainstream children and I have a very calming presence which makes the children feel at ease. I have worked as a team leader in an after school club (I did this for 5 years). I have also trained as a teacher in a primary school and secondary school. I am currently waiting to start my new job as a teacher in July so I am looking for some work for the next three weeks. I am a fun, reliable and caring person. I love working with children and I have very good behaviour management skills whilst having the most fun we can have together to build a good bond. I am adaptable for when things change and I am always happy to follow your preferences for your child. I can cater for all needs and abilities. I have taken numerous training and lots of safeguarding courses to support me in the care of young children. I hope I can support your family as best I can and provide the trust and care for your children whilst I am with them.

Active passionate child carer
| Ex nursery manager. I have vast experience within childcare from professional to personal. I have done altogether, around 15 years work experience within nurseries and primary schools, which you can see from my profile. As a result of this, I have become familiar with the planning and organisation involved in providing childcare and have gained the necessary skills and qualifications needed to look after and care for children from newborn up to 5 years+. I feel that with my previous experience, enthusiasm and mindfulness, I would make an excellent, reliable babysitter/nanny. I particularly enjoy working with young children as I find it rewarding being part of their day to day development. I have a clean, up to date DBS check and paediatric first aid. I am fully flexible and very reliable.

A Warm Welcoming Babysitter
| I am at 27 year old female who has been causally babysitting for friends, family and neighbours for the past 10 years over evenings and weekends. I love to be proactive with the children within my care as I am creative and love outdoor activities as well as sports, cooking, homework help and teaching kids how to have fun. I also am keen about teaching them manners and respect if set by parents. I reflect the above depending on the age range of the child I am looking out for and the expectations and rules set by the parent as I understand everyone's children and parenting is different. I have a lot of patients when it comes to children and like to initiate a positive mind-set at all times. I am responsible and reliable to the parents I commit my time too which enables me to grow a relationship with the whole family. I am a lover of animals so have no issues if you have pets. I am happy to assist with house keeping and if given enough notice for local school runs which I can fit around my 9-5 I am happy to accommodate. I am currently looking for babysitting working around my full time job as extra income. I have no commitments at weekends so I am able to commit to work as many weekends as required also.
