Babysitters in Downpatrick

| I am a bright bubbly person who is very patient and caring. I take great pride in my work and ensure everything is done to achieved to my best potential. I have worked between nurseries, private nannying and being a private carer for a child with SEN. I am available for babysitting or weekend work.

| I am a very sensitive and empathetic person, in the past, children have always gravitated towards me. I am interested in jobs in caring for people or animals. Although I recently completed a degree in Zoology at Queens, I have always considered working in childcare hence my different courses and experience. When I was younger myself, I had a lot of experience looking after younger children. Throughout my childhood, my best friends had younger siblings or nieces. They were baby girls at the time and as myself and my friends were adolescents, we often had a lot of responsibilities looking after them in a babysitting capacity. I have also watched younger cousins in the past (ages 1-7). I have babysat 2 boys a couple of times for a family friend that were around the ages of 6 and 8 at the time. Additionally, I completed a childcare course while in high school through the local Serc and an A level in Health and Social Care. I am also heavily involved in all of the youth events at two local churches; including summer clubs, Sunday school, older youth programmes and more, the ages of these children range from 4-16. I have had Access NI checks completed in order to fulfil these roles.
