Childcare in Okehampton

| With a passion for nurturing and a background in childcare, I’m here to create a fun and safe environment for your little ones. Whether it’s playing imaginative games, getting messy with arts and crafts, or reading bedtime stories, I love making every moment special. I believe in fostering creativity and independence while ensuring that children feel heard and valued. With four years of experience and a love for working with children, you can trust that your kids are in safe hands. When I was 15 and 16, I did some babysitting. After secondary school, I worked at a nursery for three and a half years. I completed first aid and childcare courses, but as that was a few years ago, they will have lapsed. For my education, I went to an international school in Spain, where I did MYP, which is the equivalent of GCSEs. I took a Pediatric First Aid course on November 1st, 2024. I have taken this before, but you need to retake it every three years. This training equips me with essential skills for handling emergencies involving infants and children, including first aid techniques and how to respond in critical situations.

| I have a level 2 childcare qualification in ages 0-19 years, GCSE in catering, food and hygiene and First aid I have worked as a apprentice in a nursery for 2 years now finnished I am looking for a job that will be close to home

| I have a Childcare and Health And Social Care diplomas Level 2 and up to 2-3 years of experience working in childcare, I’ve looked after friends and families children when I was a teenager, then I worked at a Primary School for a year (year 1 and year 5-6) which I thoroughly enjoyed and had the best time doing! I then went on to becoming an Au Pair, which lead me to move to New York City to nanny for 3 boys for a full year which was the most amazing experience and such a incredible opportunity which made me love childcare ten times more! I’d say the skills I took away from both jobs and experiences were, being more creative when it comes to activities. Also bonding and really getting to know who I’m working with so I can adapt to their likes and dislikes and personalities so that they can benefit much more. I like to do sports in and out of work to make the day fun and be active! I also had a lot of experience taking day trips out with the kids in New York which I enjoyed planning and exploring ideas such as picnics out, aquariums, sports in parks etc! But also a lot of activities at home such as baking, drawing and painting etc! I’m looking to further my experience, skills and more amazing memories!

| I have worked with children for most of my life. For 2 years I worked in a primary school and nursery as a nursery nurse. I have a level 2 NVQ in childcare and young people. I like to be down to earth, polite and try and as helpful as I can be.

I am the eldest of eight children and have helped my mother raise them with my support as she has been a single parent. Both my brother aged 11 and sister aged 13 have special needs and need support with their daily tasks. I have helped with their personal care, cleaning, cooking, and supported them with any home work or other activities. I feel it would be great to work with children as I have personal experience at home and can show my skills and support to other children. I'm 21 and have been told by others that I work very well with children. I can be trusted to care for other children as well as my siblings. I have done the odd babysitting over the past few years and have gained skills I can now use such as cooking.
