| Hi! I am a 21-year-old graphic design and photography student at UCA, who is willing to do part-time job as a nanny, babysitter and childcare. I have always loved to spend time with children as I’ve had so many smaller cousins and family friends who I have looked after for. I am a sporty person, I run marathons, hike, spend time in nature, cycle and read a lot of books. I have an experience of working in Canterbury as a volunteer at SMB Church bumblebees and youth group, (helping out with arts and crafts, playing, cleaning up, supporting families and voluntary team in any need, entertaining children) As well I have worked in a summer camp for 2 years with girls ages 5-16, I have been a tutor, etiquette teacher, dance teacher’s assistant, have helped children to set up an acting play. I am open to different type of obligations, would be interested in teaching or helping with studying. I do have lots of interests around nature, arts, music, hand crafts, sewing, maths. I do like to cook a lot! I have been vegan for a while before, but now I am back to eating everything. That is why I have knowledge of veganism, vegetarianism and as well the regular diet needs, gluten-free.
