My Summary

My Experience

Since 2007 I have worked solely for 8 different families looking after children of all ages (mainly birth to four),a year in an after school club/playscheme (five to twelves) just off Blackstock Road. I also worked for an agency in Australia working for many different preschools. I have had very good relationships with both the children and their parents.

In March 2011 I started part time looking after a three month old baby boy which turned full time and on occasion his two year old sister, whilst also working at the after school club.

In May 2011 I started full time work with the little boy and this continued until October when his mother retired from work. I had sole charge of him and on occasions his older sister, inclusive of sole weekend charge whilst the parents went for weekends away.

From October 2011 I had been travelling and working abroad and returned to London on the 20th of December 2013.

My sole daily duties include:

•Playing with the child/ren and keeping them entertained by taking them to different groups & to parks.
•Helping to get the children into a routine.
•Organising age related activities such as play & stays and music classes.
•Preparing babies bottles and changing nappies.
•Preparing healthy meals & snacks as they get older.
•Undertaking all the children’s laundry and keeping play areas and children’s bedrooms tidy (if based at their house).
•Stimulating children by reading and keeping them active.
•Bathing and preparing the children for bed.
•Arranging play dates for children

My duties would change whilst working at the preschools. This would involve arranging activities for whole classes with the materials and space made available.

As of January 2014 I started a forty hour week with a little girl of four weeks old. She is now 9 months old and her mother has decided that she would like to spend more time with her and work from home so I have been given my notice today 22/09/14.

January 2015 I started working with a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old girl, after two years both girls were in full time education. This position finished December 2016 and I went travelling for three months.

Finished a full time position from April 2017 at the end of July 2018 with a little girl from 3 months-18 months.

Worked until December 2018 with a two year old girl before she attended nursery in January and I started my maternity leave.

After having my son I started a position with another family along side my son for 9 months before they moved home. This worked very well for us all and we was sad to see them go, as were they sad to leave.

I am happy to look after another child of the same age so that my son and another child can grow up together and learn to develop their social skills from a very young age or to work with an older child who my son can learn from.

I finished a position in march last year as my father and sister were coming over from New Zealand for two months and I also wanted to spend the last summer with my son before he attended full time school.

My son will be at school from 8.50am until 3.30/430pm each day.

I have references available from all the families I have worked for over the years, I am more than happy to provide these via email.

Thanks
