Babysitter Comfortable with Toddler to Primary school age - Darlington DL1
| First of all do not be put off by my qualifications and what I am doing at the moment. I am looking to change direction this year to help with children. Since first writing this I now have a 5 year old granddaughter and grandson who I adore. I am a mature experienced person with a wealth of life skills in many areas. I am a qualified counsellor specialising with children and teens. I am also a qualified teacher. I have an up to date DBS, Safeguarding Children. I adore children and have a lot of time and patience to give them the best care and attention they need until mum/dad come home. I am very creative so they can expect lots of activities and most of all, fun! As a qualified teacher I can also help with homework (not Maths) where necessary. I do not have childcare qualifications, just good old fashioned life skills and being a mum of 3 grown up, well balanced successful boys whom I brought up myself. So if you are looking for someone who will treat your children with care, respect and look after like mum or dad, you have found me. Sandra.

A very warm, very friendly, kind hearted and compassionate nanny.
| Hi my name is Annie and I am a friendly, respectful, responsible and fun girl who would really love the special privilege of becoming a nanny for your family and take care of your precious little children. I love to take care of children and I really believe this is where my career is destined! Ever since being a young girl I have always loved to be around children and babies and I always knew my career would be best suited with them. Watching them grow has always fascinated me and seeing their smiles has a place in my heart. For the past 6 years I have actually been providing childcare for children on evenings and days off, one of the children particularly from being 2 weeks old and she is now 6 years as well as another child who is now almost 2 years. Seeing how they have grown over the years and how I have influenced in their development has such a place in my heart and I would love to help other families with the care in which I can provide.
