Experienced and bubbly individual who is looking for some extra money babysitting.
| I am a 20 year old energetic and friendly individual looking for some childcare shifts in this strange time. I have just over a year’s worth of childcare experience in a private outdoors nursery in Felsted in which I worked with a range of children ageing from 8 months to 12 years. Within the nursery, I also worked in the kids club which involved pick up and drop off’s from school and trips out. I also assisted the kids with homework and managed activities. I am comfortable with light housekeeping. I have babysat for many families and therefore have experience within home childcare as well.

My name is Steph. From a Lawyer to a Nanny!
| Hi there, A slight change in my career path... I have spent the last 3 years looking after my now, 22 month old boy & 4 step children aged between 7-14 years old in Ireland. Myself & my boy have now moved back to England & when looking for roles to return to work, I soon realised I didn’t want to return to my legal career & instead found myself searching for Nanny roles. Looking after children is something I adore. Although I may have extensive academic qualifications, I unfortunately do not have any childcare qualifications. I only have experience but I believe this experience is second to none. Over 3 years, I truly believe the experience I have gained is invaluable. My boy is starting crèche soon & I’m looking for a part time role to fill this time. I understand the difficulties of caring for children of different ages. I’m kind-hearted & patient & I aim to provide the best quality of care possible. Trust and developing a bond with a child or finding a common ground if they’re that bit older is where I would start & I’m confident this is something I could achieve. I am more than happy to speak over the phone or meet you for a chat. I sincerely hope you’ll consider my application. Kind regards Steph
