| I'm a 26 year old illustration graduate. For the last 6 years I've had childcare experience on/off in both nursery and nanny settings. I'm looking for full-time weekday work! My strengths lie particularly in caring for babies and toddlers up to three. I take great care in forming a strong relationship with the children I work with so that I can provide them with the best individual care it’s possible for me to give. I love God, eat vegan (though will force neither my beliefs not lifestyle on your offspring) and love working with kids. I am creative and very play-focused when it comes to taking care of children. I am professional, efficient and organised. *I am currently waiting to be issued a new DBS after spending a few months in Australia*

Having spent the last year taking care of a newborn and his 3 year old brother, I learnt a great deal about the importance of child care. I loved every minute of it and hope to continue looking after children in the future. My days included taking the eldest brother to nursery, cleaning, cooking, trips into town and lots of playtime! I worked nights as well as daytime hours. When it comes to leisure I enjoy walking, cycling, games, swimming as well as most outdoor activities. I am very patient and time giving! Despite having a full-time job working for Cambridge University Press, I miss working with children and hope that I can use my available time to help parents with any extra childcare they may require.
