Childcare in County 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.

| 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

| -I am a kind and loving young woman with 2-3 years of childcare experience and references -living between DH1 and NE30 - Certificate of Higher Education in Primary Education - Previous experience working in a Nursery School - Previously a TA in a Reception class - Flexible and open schedule - Positive and caring personality

| 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.

| Experienced Babysitter with a Caring Touch With 5 years of hands-on experience babysitting my younger cousins, I have developed strong childcare skills, including supervising children of various ages, engaging them in creative and educational activities, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I am highly dependable, patient, and nurturing, with a natural ability to connect with kids. My experience includes meal preparation, assisting with homework, bedtime routines, and fostering a fun yet structured environment. I understand the importance of building trust with both children and parents and always prioritize open communication.

| 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!

| 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 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.
