Childcare in Durham

| I am qualified as a Level 3 Childcare Assistant. I have since been out of nursery work since 2017 following the birth of my second child. I have a 11 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. I love watching and supporting children grow and progress through life and am looking for something that works around my own family life whilst helping other families in the process.

| Hello! I’m a newly qualified Maternity Nurse with over five years of childcare experience, and I’m currently a student at Durham University. I’m especially excited to support families with babies under 6 months and build on my skills in newborn care. I’m flexible, organised, and here to make those early days smoother and more enjoyable for both you and your little one. Please feel free to get in touch so we can chat about how I might be a great fit for your family and work around whatever support you may need!

| Hi. I'm Lucy, I'm studying for a bachelors in History, I have lots of experience with child care. I volunteered in Tanzania at an impoverished school where I was in charge of teaching CPR, basic English and sanitation to over 400 children ages 4-15. This summer I am heading back there as the leader of the young children's initiative. Alongside this I have extensive back round checks, which I needed when I volunteered as a museum guide for primary school children in Hackney, again this consisted of looking after children as young as 3. I spent 2018/19 caring for a young child in Durham including cooking, teaching and putting to bed. I also have experience with older children, as I worked as a young leader for my local scouting organization for over 2 years, most of these great kids were around 8 to 13, and very energetic so I'm used to being adaptable and fun but also reasonable! If you so wish I am able to help with either English or history homework as my specialty is essay writing and I hope to teach children later in life, so I welcome any offers for tutoring alongside babysitting. Please do get in touch as I would appreciate any opportunities. Thanks Lucy

| Hello, I’m Chloe! I’m currently a postgraduate student at Durham University looking for childcare opportunities to take on during my spare time. I’m free most evenings with a lot of availability throughout the week too. I have a lot of experience with children from often babysitting family members and others from the ages of 6 months to 13 years old. I also have a lot of healthcare experience where I have done a comprehensive amount of training such as basic life support & first aid. I absolutely love children and hope to pursue a career in child psychology one day. On that note, I would be happy to help with tasks such as homework, basic care needs, activities and cooking. I also drive so would be happy to do pick-ups/drop-offs too.

| I am an Education Studies undergraduate, just beggining my adventure with formal education. I have experience with tutoring - mostly in Maths, English and Science and with supervised childcare during events. I speak fluent English, Polish and French, engage in lots of arts and crafts and in my free time research mnemonics. I am physically fit and willing to encourage or assist with sport. I am attentive, empathetic and easily connect with other people. There is no such thing as a problem, only challenges ;)

| I am a fully qualified teacher (gained my PGCE in 2012) specialising in ICT. I then worked in SEN from ####-####. I have worked with mostly older children although as I have done SEN care, I have dealt with incontinence, personal care, bathing etc. I specialise in ASD. I have worked in both a home environment and an academic setting so would feel comfortable tutoring most subjects up to KS3 and certain subjects up until KS4. I have worked in a childcare setting for around 6 months in 2010 before the company I worked for disbanded. This covered the ages of 4-11. I have my own child, a daughter, born in 2018 so left work in 2019 to look after her. Willing to give further examples and details if necessary. My qualifications : 11 GCSEs (8As 3Cs) 4 A levels (AABB) 2:1 in digital media PGCE in ICT Level 3 cert in understanding Autism Level 2 cert in Looking after children Level 2 cert in Understanding mental health conditions I absolutely adore reading books and bringing literature alive. I've passed that love onto my daughter and would love to pass it onto any child I meet. My philosophy is that all children like reading/being read to and if they don't it's because they haven't found the right book for them yet.

| Hello! My name is Claire and I am from Canada doing my masters here at Durham while playing on the volleyball team. I did my undergrad in Kinesiology with a minor in family studies and have a plethora of childcare experience. Through my athletics, I have coached for many years in addition to nannying and babysitting back in Canada. I have worked with kids with ranging ability levels through homecare and day camps. I have also completed various childcare courses. My goal is to ensure children are having fun and developing to become the best versions of themselves!

| I grew up in a large family with 6 other siblings. With me being the oldest sister. I grew up babysitting and looking after all my siblings. Which i have always enjoyed. I then become a live in nanny after passing my childcare qualifications and it was a career that I really enjoy. However due to the family moving back home I am looking for a new role.
