I am also the mother of three children who are now grown up and in higher education or employment. This of course has also provided me with a wealth of experience in looking after children of all ages and at all stages of their lives.

I've worked in pre- schools and have been babysitting for friends, relatives and others since.

| I’m currently a housekeeper at Southend University Accommodation Essex, I have been a housekeeper at a residential home for 4yrs. And a career for 8yrs. I'm not a registered nanny or childminder but I have always wanted to work with children.

| I have babysat for 10+ years. I am a very fun, energetic babysitter. I am very honest and trustworthy, very reliable, even on short notice. I used Care.com while I was living in the States and I met a wonderful family, who till this day is still a big part of my life. I babysat their son from the age of 9 months until he was 5 years old. I also babysat other children as well, but the child I babysat from 9 months old was my longest job. I got to help him walk, talk, learn new things, etc. I love to be a part of that experience and it's a growing step in my life, as well as the child. I have many years of babysitting, paid and unpaid. I helped my parents while they were working, so I babysat my younger brothers. In high school, I took child development classes and took the State exam [Florida] and passed. I love to babysit and gain the experience of looking after children. I love to do all sorts of activities with the child (ren), I follow all instructions left by the parents and update them through out the day/night and when I see them.

| I have a lot experience looking after my brother whenever my parents leave the house. I currently tutor children so I will be able to help the kids with their homework. As someone who also does chores when instructed by parents (including hoovering, folding clothes etc.) I believe I have some experience with house keeping. When my brother was younger I made sure he was fed and spent time playing with him and made fun time more interactive and enjoyable. I also read him stories before he went to bed.

| I am very good at calming kids down and playing with kids and I know how parents feel

| I’m great with children of all ages, I’ve been partially looking after my 4 year old sister since she was a baby whilst my mum had work or other commitments so I’ve got good experience with dealing with babies and toddlers. I really enjoy spending time with children and helping them with learning and behaviours. All children that I come across tend to gravitate towards me because of my kind nature, so I feel like this is a perfect role for me.

| Since 2013, I've led workshops & drama classes for children as well as babysitting, I love working with children and always aim to bring fun wherever I go. Combining this with first aid training, an enhanced DBS and cooking skills, I'm ready for the unpredictability that comes with the work.
