I love working with children - they brighten up my day and put a smile on my face.
| Hello and thank you so much for reading my profile. My name is Svetla, I am 35 years old and originally from Bulgaria. I have lived in the UK for 11 years! I am DBS checked, hold child care qualification NVQ 4, I have a first aid certificate and I have a clean driving license with my own car. I have around 8 years of experience in nannying/mothers help. Most of my childcare experience has been with children from newborn and 5 years! My tasks have included getting the kids ready in the morning, making breakfast, packing lunch boxes, nursery drop-off and pick-up, cooking lunch and supper, tidying up toys, playing with them in the house and outside (e.g. at the playground or at playgroups). I am a very reliable and caring person and I have treated all of the children that I have looked after as if they were my own. Equally, I am very happy to help around the house, do ironing, washing, tidying... Please do get in touch with me if you like what you've read above. I am also very happy to provide references from the families that I have worked with. Many thanks! Svetla

I’m a newly Ofsted registered childminder offering funded places in January 2025.
| Hi I’m a newly Ofsted registered childminder in central Tunbridge Wells near to Dunorlan Park. I offer a warm , cosy and welcoming setting with an emphasis on providing quality learning opportunities for all the children. I have lots of age appropriate toys, books games and crafts. Cooking will also be part of our weekly routine. My courtyard garden is fully enclosed providing opportunities to play, explore and investigate. Weather permitting we’ll be outside as much as possible, taking regular trips to local parks, toddler groups and the library. In my early career I trained as a chef, I did this for many years until my 2 children were born. To be around in the school holidays I became a teaching assistant in local schools. I enjoyed this for 10 years gaining lots of childcare experience and a qualification. In 2014 became a nanny. Now I'm really looking forward to being a childminder in my own home.

I am passionate about child development & working with children so I would love to help your family!
| Hello! I am working towards studying a PhD in Child and Educational Psychology, and am passionate about child development so working with children is something I really enjoy. I graduated with a First Class BSc in Psychology from the University of Southampton, and focused on parenting and child development throughout my degree and dissertation. I am a Certified Infant Massage Instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage and I have completed several additional seminars on working with children in Early Years settings, with additional needs such as autism, and supporting families with a baby with reflux. I have enjoyed work experience in a Parent and Child Group, at a local primary school, and with a child occupational therapist, who was particularly impressed with my ability to communicate and care for children. Following my time with her, she offered me a job which I was unable to take as it was in London. I have A-Levels in Psychology (A), Biology (A) and Sociology (A), and GCSEs in English Lit/Lang (A, A), Maths (A), Science (A, A*), Geography (A*), French (A), R. S (B) and Drama (B) so would be happy to help with school work.
