currently a childminding assistant and have worked here coming upto my 5th year in September.
| I have done two different types of work experience, the first one I did was working within a school for four weeks, two weeks I was working in their nursery and the other two weeks I worked in year 1. I really enjoyed working within this company in both year groups, I found it really interesting and I found that it inspired me to want to work in a childcare setting even more. The other work experience I did was at a child-minders called dory's, she runs her own child-minders within her home, I worked here for two weeks, I observed Dorothy over the two weeks and learnt how she looks after the children and her day to day routines with them, I assisted her in helping the children do educational activities, such as reading books, painting shapes and numbers, feeling different textures and learning different letters and words. Also, whilst on this, we took the children to different activities such as zumba, on a Friday morning and to playgroup on a Wednesday. I am very trustworthy and reliable and also flexible with working times. I am honest and confident with working with children. I have shown that I can work unsupervised with children as shown on

Friendly and reliable babysitter! “Here when you need me”
| A little about me, I had my own son when I was 19years old, the experience of watching him grow & explore the world is an experience I hope to never forget, I’m proud of how Me & my partner have/are raising our child in this world. I do very well in adapting to different parenting styles my friend who I mind for parents different to me partially as one child has special needs so she needs monitoring & requirements fulfilled different to the other 3 children, I’ve adapted the style of minding to fit each child which my friend is very happy with. Im also a very reliable person & very happy to make extra time to fit the needs of the parents/children,I’m also happy to help with hospital/doctors etc. In my experience you need to observe & monitor children. You also need to be able to communicate with parents/guardians and maintain a healthy relationship. I can prepare & cook meals/lunch boxes & snacks, I can also follow recipe books and follow allergy/dietary requirements. The children I currently mind for are aged 12,10,4 &13 months. I’ve babysat the children for 12months & we’ve got a great routine & schedule for after school & This works really well for me &the family.Availability: 09:00am -04:00pm or09:00pm-01:00am
