| Hi, my name’s Guinevere. I’m a 26 year old receptionist/administrator in a doctors surgery. I have a great deal of previous experience in child care. I started with babysitting as a young teen for various family friends. I became a nanny in my late teens to a 4 year old boy before becoming an Au Pair to twin girls in Senegal, West Africa. Whilst there I took on all the responsibilities and challenges that come with caring for young children and managing a home. Once back in England I became a Teachers Assistant in a Primary School. Here I spent 3 years working closely with the classroom teacher to ensure the pupils educational and safety needs were always met. References available on request.
