My Summary

My Experience

I have been babysitting since the age of 14, but looking after younger family and friends for as long as I can remember.
I did a 2 week work experience placement at Hatton special needs school last July. I have been volunteering at a creche during october for the past 5 years, looking after children from the ages of 0-4.
I worked part time in an after school club for a year while studying my A Levels.
I volunteered for a special needs summer scheme for 3 years.
The first family I worked for had two boys aged 3 and 6 when I started.
My last family had 3 children ages range from 6months- 5years when I first started working for them.
I worked as a childminders assistant, until she was selling her house and closing her business.
I stopped my last Nanny share Mon-Thursday, kids aged 2y/o and 15 months, to have my own baby in June 2019.
September 2019-March 2020 I was caring for my nephews (3.5 and 1) full time as my sister in law returned to work after her own maternity leave.
March 2020-December 2020; I cared for a little boy 4 months older than my daughter, throughout lockdown, until their house move meant they couldn’t keep me on
January 2021-June 2021; I cared for a little boy 6 months younger than my daughter, on a short term position, due to the 2.5hour round commute being too much for my daughter.
September 2021-January 2022;
I provided wrap around care and school holidays cover Wednesday-Friday for two children 5&7, taking my daughter with me.
January 2022- May 2023
I work 3 days a week for a lovely family, caring for a little girl the same age as my daughter, the girls are so good for each other, learning so many things from each other, and creating the loveliest bond together. This came to an end when preschool went full time before starting primary school.
