Babysitters in Corstorphine/Murrayfield

| An attentive to details and with a high sense of responsibility person. Doing my placement as a third year student at Napier( speciality Business Management). More about me as a person, I’m Ukrainian refugee living with my sponsors in Corstorphine helping with their grandchildren from time to time as well on Mondays((4) and (6)). They’re quite independent children but still in need of some help with the food and of course playing, in which I’m very good by the way. Last time we were playing, I came up with idea to use a tray as a South African drum and since they like dancing so much, I played and she danced. Talking about my origin and the language barrier there’s no worries about it. I know 4 languages Ukrainian, russian, English and French(unfortunately not fluently).I have my childcare experience from my placement as I’m working for Dr Bell’s Family Center supporting their families with different sorts of groups and activities. For example, baby massage(I’m not qualified with it personally), crèche, outdoors walks and so on and so far. Apart from helping families and children I’m contributing to Dr Bell’s social medias to promote the charity. That’s what I meant as high sense of responsibility.

| I have had two years experience in a private nursery working with ages 3 months - 5 years. I also have experience with older children too. I am a fully qualified nursery practitioner, my qualification is SVQ level 3 in social work and child care. I am currently based in a nursery in city centre Edinburgh.

| Hi there! I'm Rachael. I've been working with kids since I left high school in 2015, throughout nurseries and within After School Clubs etc. I have found it to be incredibly rewarding, but outside of childcare I love to read and write. I also adore music and animals!

| I am a 20 year old student who has been around children all my life, I have been babysitting for 4 and a half years. I am a responsible individual who adores working and helping children.

| I am currently in university studying psychology, so I am entirely flexible at the moment. I have experience in babysitting children at a range of ages and I have loved all my previous babysitting jobs! I consider myself as having a light and playful character, but I am able to put my foot down when absolutely necessary. In general, I just enjoy spending time around kids, as well as some light housework here and there. If it is of interest, I have a basic understanding of Italian and a well-rounded knowledge of Spanish, which I am able to speak comfortably. Outside of study, I enjoy sports and would love some activity with any children I babysit! I also have a creative side, which I indulge through art and sewing.

| During my time as a nursery volunteer, I had the opportunity to engage with infants and toddlers, fostering their development through interactive play, nurturing care, and structured activities. Through my summer camp volunteering experiences, I honed my ability to manage groups of children in dynamic settings, ensuring their safety while creating an inclusive and stimulating environment for growth and exploration. My regular babysitting gigs have further equipped me with invaluable skills in building trust with both children and parents, and handling a range of situations with patience, empathy, and adaptability. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my experiences and skills align with the needs of your family.
