A young and loving childminder
| I am a hardworking, young, loving and caring individual. I have gained plenty of experience over the last years from babysitting, volunteering in a primary school, working in a nursery and nannying for multiple families. This experience has been with a wide age range of children in different settings, including families with SEN. I have my own transport, pediatric first aid training and a DBS. As well as references available on request.

I am a bubbly, fun, kind and compassionate individual with a passion in wanting to help.
| I am a trainee primary school teacher and have a passion for wanting to help children and families. I’ve been babysitting since I’ve been 14 years old and done all age varieties and needs. I went to the girls grammar and got fantastic GCSE’s and A-Levels and I would like to find some extra work whilst I complete my studies at university to become a primary school teacher. I am fun and bubbly and kids seem to warm to me, I am however fair and do understand there’s a fine line with children but I want to have fun with the kids and enjoy my time with them creating bonds and hopefully making the time enjoyable with them. I am extremely active and enjoy sports, I go running every other day and try to go to the gym as often as I can.
