Childcare in Gravesend

| As a babysitter, I bring a wealth of relevant skills and experience to the table. I have honed my caregiving abilities through years of looking after my younger siblings and offering my services to family friends. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the patience, empathy, and understanding needed to effectively care for children. I am adept at planning and organizing engaging activities to keep children entertained and stimulated. I am also comfortable assisting with bathing routines and ensuring that children are clean and comfortable. In addition, I am skilled in preparing nutritious meals and snacks that cater to the dietary needs and preferences of children. My passion for working with children, coupled with my practical experience, makes me a reliable and trustworthy babysitter who is committed to providing the best care possible.

| I am 25 years old and after 7 years working in childcare I left the sector to persue a long term career in payroll. I absolutely love working with children still and babysit regularly around my current job. I am first aid trained, have an enhanced DBS and am qualified to Level 2 and 3 in Edexcel Children and Young People's Workforce.

| Hi, I am Gina. I have two children. My daughter is 11 and my son is 7. I provide childcare with my mother-in-law and sister in-law. I can mind from her address and mine. This allows us to cover if anyone is sick. I am 30 and have always wanted to work with children. Seeing a child's face light up when they have achieved something is priceless! Give your children the best start in life.

| I am Hardworking caring and compassionate nanny. I started working in childcare in a crèche at a virgin active caring for children from 6 weeks of age up to 12 years. In 2012 I began working as a nanny and have been with the same family since then. I really enjoy nannying and think the role is what you make it. I like to be busy doing activities with the children. Cooking healthy dinners for them and being not just their nanny but like a member of their family. I have two children myself boys aged 5 1/2 and 9 months so experience with newborns. I have a level 3 qualification in childcare and am registered on the update service with my CRB. I also have my own car that is fully insured for business purposes.

| I have achieved Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) I am a Mum of two girls, aged 1 year and 3 years and I have been working in Childcare for the past 16 years. If you are interested in me babysitting for you please message me your email address so that I can get in touch with you as I am unable to return messages on here. I started as a student at 16 years old, working in a range of settings including nurseries and primary schools. I eventually worked my way up to managing a Nursery in South London by the age of 24. The setting I managed achieved an OFSTED outstanding rating! I left this setting in September last year, after having my youngest. I absolutely love being around children, because caring for children and supporting their learning and development is my biggest passion. Due to my professional work in this area, I also have a great deal of experience in supporting other childcare staff and professionals in meeting the needs of the children in my care.

| ** currently not seeking employment as will be taking maternity leave from late august ** I’ve been working in childcare now for over 13 years. I have an nvq level 3 qualification in childcare and development. I began my career in childcare working in a virgin crèche where I spent many years caring for children aged from 6 weeks up to 12 years working my way up to team leader. From there I then became a nanny to a boy who at commencement of my employment was 14 months old. He was then also joined by a younger brother and my oldest son also came along too. I spent 6 years with the family leaving in July 2018 to then have my second son. My fees are negotiable. £12 ph is for after school nanny. If full days would charge £11ph Would also charge slightly less if bringing along my 2 year old. I am also not looking for a cash in hand agreement and would want to be employed with contract etc

| The skills i have for working with children, parents/ carers and as an individual is patience and good communication skills, this will build a trusting relationship between not only children but with parents/ carers as well. I cope well with time management and multitasking, when engaging with children i always ensure all children are included and do not feel excluded. The experience i have is 2 years in college studying early years foundation level 2 and level 3, I have now completed my course with both qualifications. i have been babysitting family/ friends children from the age of 15. I have 4 years experience in child care altogether, i am now looking to setting up my own business in relation to childcare, i feel like it is what i do best and this is the carer i have always wanted from a young age.

| I am a 23 year old creative who has unfortunately had upcoming work cancelled because of Covid-19. With schools shutting down and kids being off, I understand a lot of parents might need childcare right now- which is where I can help! I come from a big family and have a lot of younger cousins who I used to look after growing up. I have also volunteered as an English Teacher in Sri Lanka where I taught children aged 3-7 across a language barrier. I studied English Literature at university and was awarded a First Class Honours. I can thus offer more than just child care, also helping to tutor children and help with their homework. Having practiced yoga and meditation since I was 16, I have a calm, positive and adaptable mindset that allows me to cope well under pressure. I am incredibly creative and often create fun games, crafts and learning excercises that I practice with my younger cousins. I also think during this uncertain/scary time it is important for kids to go walking and get exercise so they can exert some of their energy! This would be something I would try to do when babysitting as I have a car. If there is any more information you would like to know about me/my experience.... please let me know! Thank you!
