Experienced Babysitter, Nanny, Au Pair in Dorset - DT2 and Yeovil - BA21
| I have lots of experience with children, for the past four years I have worked with and looked after children between the ages of 6 months and 15 years. I assisted teaching ballet for roughly three years, to girls aged 3-8. Through this I have built connections with several families in the area whom I now babysit for on a semi-regular basis. I've been committed to babysitting for two and a half years, and most of the children feel like family to me now. I also have a love for animals, and have been around them all my life. My family has two dogs, and I have done some dog sitting in the past. I have experience with horses and riding, and most recently I have been a volunteer for Riding for The Disabled. In this role I assist disabled children in therapeutic riding. I care greatly for all the children and animals that I look after and I love the opportunity to get involved with, help and support new families. You can also find me on Facebook under Zaylie’s Childcare Services.
