  • Wakefield
Kind-natured and reliable English graduate with experience with children and babysitting.
| My name is Olive and I am a 22-year-old graduate of the University of Warwick. I am a gentle and kind-natured person with a love for children. I am pursuing a career in the charity sector so am spending the next year to two years focusing on volunteering with refugees in order to build up my experience. I am seeking two to three days a week of babysitting/nannying work to accompany this. I would love to get to know your child or children and would be dedicated to making my time with them happy, safe and fun. I have one year of experience with babysitting and can provide a reference for this. I babysat two children between the ages of 8-11 at least once a week, preparing meals, doing light housework and helping with homework and musical instrument practice. With family friends and younger cousins, I have spent plenty of time with younger children and babies too and love this age range very much. I have my own car and would be more than happy to do pick-ups or drop-offs as well as assisting with shopping or anything else you might need. People think of me as a very warm, caring person so I really hope you will consider meeting me so you can see whether I am the right fit.
