Childcare in Leith Walk

| While I don't have any formal experience working in child care, I am eager to learn and grow in this field. I have always enjoyed spending time with children and find it incredibly rewarding to engage with them and help them learn and grow. I am a patient, kind, and nurturing person with a strong work ethic and a willingness to take on new challenges. I understand the importance of providing a safe, fun, and stimulating environment for children to thrive in, and I am committed to doing everything I can to ensure that children in my care feel happy, comfortable, and supported. I am a quick learner and am eager to receive any training or guidance needed to excel in this role. I believe that my positive attitude, compassion, and enthusiasm make me a great fit for a child care role, and I am excited to contribute to the well-being of the children in my care.

| I'm a young, creative adult full of energy, passionate about children's learning and development and want to help take some of the pressure off parents. I have experience in babysitting children of preschool and primary school age and work experience as a primary school classroom assistant. I'm able to provide care for children at their home and take them out for activities. I'm happy to drop off/pick them up from places. I can help with homework and general learning. I'm able to prepare/cook some meals if necessary. I can help with the bedtime routine, assisting younger children to get ready and reading stories. I can also do some light housework if needed. If you have any pets, I can also look after them. Caring for children comes naturally to me as I'm the eldest child in my family and I've grown up alongside many children in the street of my family home. I'm a calm and patient individual. I'm sensitive to others’ emotions, a good listener and make people feel at ease. When caring for children, I'll try to be fun but will also make sure to create appropriate boundaries. I'm a very cautious and attentive person so I would always make sure the health and safety of children is at the forefront of my care.
