My name is Chiara and I am 23 years old. I grew up in Ireland but moved to Brighton as I love this area but also to study Psychology. I am an older sister to siblings ages 3,7,11 and 18 so I have life long experience of childminding. I am very confident with all ages and have been admired for my natural talent at looking after young people. I am a creative person and am very happy to do lots of fun activities such as art, music, cooking/baking or outdoor/nature orientated activities. I am well able in challenging situations and good at coming up with quick and resourceful solutions with children/teens. I am very down to earth and open, and care a lot about ensuring everybody is comfortable and happy in my presence- whether that is spending lots of time together talking and sharing or respecting one’s space if they prefer to do their own thing. I am very responsible and organised, with a background in hospitality and working in kitchens so I am very happy to do any extra housekeeping bits or covering meal times. I am patient and also have many years experience helping with homework etc. Throughout my teens I worked on and off as a babysitter covering both day and night shifts.
