Childcare in Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart

| Hi. I'm Kal and I currently work at a language school here in Edinburgh, but originally hail from Columbus, Ohio. I pride myself of being kind, thoughtful, funny and adventurous; and channel that when I'm spending time with kids. I have worked in various childcare atmospheres, but my more prominent experience comes from working at a US summer camp for six years. During that time, I have spent time with kids aged 6-17. I have also been a nanny for two years for two teens, one with a developmental delay. I also nannied for a different family of a five year old during the day when the teens were in school. I understand that not everyone is the same, people think and want different things. With that, it's important that when approaching kids about various activities and emotions, each one receives unique, tailored-to-them service and I think that I can deliver that. I'm qualified, I'm enthusiastic, and I'm happy to entertain. I do work during the day from 08:30-17:00, but if anyone needs a date night or a weekend break, I'm your girl!

| Hello, My name is Katy and I am studying to be a child psychotherapist. I am looking to earn some extra money for my studies and thought that child care would be best as it is my field of knowledge. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. Aside from all that, I truly adore spending time with children and adolescents and am confident that I would do a great job.

| I am a child health nurse in Edinburgh. I come from a large family and enjoy spending time with them. Outside of work and childcare I play netball and rugby and enjoy going for walks around the local area. I am looking for extra work to make the most of my days off and broaden my experiences.

| Hey there! I am a 24 year old girl from Germany with extensive childcare and babysitting experience. Since I was 14 I have cared for and babysitted children around my town. Besides that, I conducted internships in a kindergarten and a primary school during my high school years. I have experience with special needs children as I used to assist at a horseriding therapy centre for children and adults with both mental and physical disabilities. Now that I live in Edinburgh I would love to pick up some babysitting work again - I am loving and understanding with children, love playing creative games but can also be certain and strict when needed. I have experience with children from all age groups (1-14 years old) and can help you with anything that might be needed - from school pick ups, to homework (maybe even German tutoring?), playtime and getting the kids ready for bed. If you think I might be a fit for your family, I would be more than excited to help babysitting when you are at work or maybe just need some time off. I am always available in the evenings and most afternoons during the week, as well as full-time on weekends. Although I am a German native, I am fluent in English, so there should be no communication issues.

| I am a very warm & friendly person. I am from a large family and have always loved children of all ages. I have a younger sister who I spend a lot of time caring for and this is something I’m really passionate about. I would love the opportunity to help out a family with anything they need from me and can make my self available every weekend & evenings. Although I have no professional experience in childcare, I feel with the personality and life skills I have, I will be a great match for any family who requires assistance with their child. I know how important it is to find the right person to care for your child and promise to do all I can to instill a trust between myself and not only the parent(s) But the children also.
