My name is Zara and I am 18 years old. I finished my A-level exams this June and now am embarking on my gap year. Over the past couple of years I have had lots of experience babysitting and pet sitting. Being the eldest in my family, I also have many younger cousins who I adore looking after. I have lots of cooking experience, including Food Tech GCSE and the Orchards Cookery course. I regularly cook for my family and in November I will start my season as a chalet girl. For the past three years I have also gained experience working for a catering company which has taught me not only financial skills but also time management. Being an Art History student, I love to visit interesting galleries and exhibitions and being sporty means I spend a lot of time outdoors playing tennis or swimming. I would love the opportunity to look after children, whether it's doing the school run or keeping them entertained everyday before and after school.
