Pamela has been looking after my 1 year old son for a few months now and she has been amazing. He loves going to her and gets excited when we get outside her house. She takes him with her for days out and they are always doing fun activities. I highly recommend!!"

| 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.

I was picking them up from kindergarten and school and playing with them,making homework, cooking dinner... Since I started university this year I don’t have my brothers by my side anymore and therefore I would like to help with children also to other parents.
