Loving, caring, happy babysitter
| I started working with children at the age of 14 when I was still in school and got the opportunity to do work based learning. In the last 15 years I have gained a level 1, 2 and 3. I have worked in nurseries, done lots of babysitting jobs, been an Au-pair for 6 months and also was a party host at a bowling alley. I am very passionate about children and teaching them the best for the future. Children are amazing and very clever. Each child has different abilities and I love working with them to help them get better. I love teaching and learning with children in different ways depending on there age. With babies I love doing messy play using shaving foam, paint, water, rice, pasta etc. Older children need you to teach them what might be coming when they start school such as adding and taking away, counting and their alphabet.

I love working with kids because it brings me immense joy.
| I love working with kids because it brings me immense joy to be a positive influence in their lives and witness their growth and development. One particular moment that stands out to me is when I organized a craft day with a group of children I was caring for. We spent hours creating colourful artwork with paints, glitter, and recycled materials. Seeing their faces light up with excitement and pride as they proudly displayed their creations was incredibly rewarding. It's moments like these that reaffirm my passion for childcare. I've always been drawn to nurturing and supporting children, even from a young age myself. Whether it's helping them with their homework, playing imaginative games, or simply listening to their stories and laughter, I find fulfilment in fostering a safe and stimulating environment where they can explore, learn, and express themselves freely. Becoming a nanny allows me to combine my natural love for children with my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. I am eager to bring my enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication to your family, creating memorable experiences and contributing positively to your children's lives.
