Childcare in Runnymede

| I offer any means of childcare support to suit the needs and wants of both the children and the parents. I offer very flexible hours and a range of skills in terms of activities, transport and general housekeeping. Being the oldest of a large family my caring ability and capacity comes naturally and is something I enjoy.

| I have a strong background in child care, rooted in my personal experience as the older sister, where I regularly helped care for my younger sibling. This early experience developed my passion for working with children, which I further pursued by starting to babysit at 16. I've also actively contributed to children's summer camps almost every summer, where I learned skills in child supervision, engagement, and activity planning. My hands-on experience has equipped me with patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of children's needs. I haven't received my university class timetable yet, but I do know that I'll be available every other weekend. I expect to be available 2-3 evenings a week and 3-4 mornings or afternoons, depending on my class schedule.

| Hello there! I'm Natalie. I'm 24, originally from Northern Ireland and working in government communications. I'm looking for a childcare role in the evenings and weekends, alongside my current full time job. I have been an au pair in Mallorca (Spain) and Frankfurt (Germany). The kids I've worked were 1, 3 and 9 years of age. My experiences with families has been wide ranging, with responsbilites usually focusing on tutoring, taking the kids to activities, some cooking and other fun things! My approach is parent-led and I'm flexible to how you would like your kids to be cared for.

I have been a nanny for over 25 years. I have worked with children from 0 to 15. I am a mother and a grandmother. I have a young outlook and am fit and healthy. I have had a First Aid certificate in the past and have a qualification in childcare. I drive and have my own car. I am a non smoker.

| I have had babysitting jobs since aged 16, for local families in my home area ( south London). At aged 18, when I moved for university ( In Egham ) I joined a nursery agency called 'JBD recruitment' and have been working ( part-time) in nurseries for over a year now. I was offered a full-time job during summer as my enthusiasm for childcare was recognised. I have looked after babies as young as 6 months old.

| My name is Abigail , I am 21 and a recent Law graduate from Royal Holloway University and my passions are in human rights law. Although I have no formal childcare experience, I have 3 younger siblings who I regularly babysit for. I also babysit for children who live in my village at home. My mother was diagnosed with MS when I was 8 so from that age onwards helping with household chores and childcare was a daily requirement for me. Once I was in secondary school, I did school runs, cooked dinner and organized school clothes. I absolutely adore babies and children and have always loved looking after them and being creative - therefore thinking of activities to entertain them and nourish their learning would be a joy for me. I also love walks and nature therefore I would love to take the children (and any pets!) out to explore. I also have always loved academia so making fun educational games up for the children or reading to them is also something I would love to do. I adore cooking and my focus is on healthy cooking. I am extremely house proud therefore housework is not something I shy away from. I am a non-smoker, and I am double vaccinated. I hold a full and clean driving license and have my own car.

| I have four years nursery experience working with ages between 9months - 4 years. I am level 3 qualified in childcare and also first aid trained. I am happy energetic persons who loves looking after children and giving them the best start to life. I love being outdoor in all weather with children and exploring nature.

| I have worked in Childcare for the past 4 years in various settings. At 16, I began as a teaching assistant at Danceworks Frome, working with children aged 4-10. I taught Baby Ballet, ISTD Ballet, Modern, and Tap for a year. I also assisted with summer schools, ensuring 200 children, aged 4-13, were both safe and happy. This past summer, I was promoted to a teaching role, leading ballet routines for all age groups. Last year, I began working at Childbase Partnership/Nursery. I work as relief staff, with flexible hours to fit my university schedule. I have experience with all age groups, from babies (6-18 months) to preschoolers, handling feeding, changing, and nap routines. I support early years development and ensure a nurturing, fun learning environment. I also manage children’s nutrition and hold a DBS certificate. Additionally, my family has fostered children aged 6-15, which has given me insight into emotional vulnerability and the importance of empathy. I’ve also supported children with learning difficulties and learned how to create a supportive, positive space for children of all backgrounds. I’m committed to providing a happy, healthy, and nurturing environment, whether that be for a weekend or more regular schedule!
