A confident, caring and fun babysitter wanting to help out any family that lets me :)
| Hello there, I’m Annalise, I hope you are well, I admittedly don’t have my verified experience, however I am the oldest sibling of 5 children, making me used to caring for and looking after children from the varying ages of newborn babies to teens. I am looking for some extra money whilst being a student at Cardiff Univerity and would like a rewarding job; helping people out rather than a normal Tesco job that a student may normally apply for. I would class myself as a very confident, kind and bubbly person and really easily get along woth people. Having a chance to care for children would mean the world to me and I would do my very best to exceed expectations of both the parent and the child/children. Pease don’t let my lack of experience deter you from my application as I am ready to learn, adapt and care! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
