| I have participated in several summer nannying programs in my local area which included daytime and evening babysitting where I ensured the safety and happiness of the children under my care. Moreover, I have taught drama at a local drama school, inspiring creativity and confidence in children through engaging and interactive lessons. I successfully organized and ran a 9-year-old's birthday party, planning and leading activities and games for a group of 15 children. My experience as a waitress has honed my communication skills, allowing me to effectively interact with families and children on a daily basis. I have achieved grade 5 in piano, bringing a love for music into my childcare approach. I enjoy sharing my musical skills with children, creating a fun and educational environment. I have also achieved Grade 6 in musical theatre, adding another layer of creativity and excitement to my interactions with children. As a previous member of my local cricket club, and my experience playing netball competitively has taught me discipline and the value of staying active, all of which I aim to instill in the children I care for. I thoroughly enjoy speaking and can teach Spanish
