My Summary
About Me
Hi! I am a medical student here in the Maidstone/Kent area looking for babysitting and private tutoring opportunities. I am someone who enjoys being around kids and have been all my life. I am confident in looking after kids of all ages and I am able to create a vibrant atmosphere which they enjoy as well. I am also happy to fully engage children throughout their care with me whether that’s through teaching them and engaging in educational play to develop their skills. Due to the nature of my degree I am DBS checked as well as trained in Safeguarding children level 1&2 and Basic Life Support. I am flexible and available most evenings and weekends for either one off or regular babysitting.
My Experience
I have been around children all my life which includes family that have recommended my babysitting to their friends and so on for the past few years. I have also volunteered in care homes and a hospice where I gained a Care Certificate. In these situations I was able to care for vulnerable people with various complex needs which I think has further equipped me and made me confident in my care giving skills

Aku has a radiant personality and is great with children. She has a wonderful attitude to work and a radiant personality to match. She was very flexible to meet my needs and was happy to work with my timing. My daughter warmed up to her quickly, and they got along really well.
Overall
My Husband and I went off to a wedding (our first time leaving our newborn without one of us so we were initially very nervous) and were rest assured with Aku.
Aku's a warm, bright person who was able to pick up all the nuances such as her sleep /tummy time schedule etc. and has a very soothing voice (quite a must for getting baby down otherwise she just stares in horror till you stop)
It was a rocky start as baby was having a grizzly morning due to her vaccinations the day before but after her nap she was all smiles
(not even my dad has been able to garner that kind of welcome yet!)
and baby even had a little cry when she was given back to us at the end of the night haha
Throughout her time childminding she kept us updated via text which eased our minds and allowed us to relax.
Looking forward to having her take care of our kiddo again next month!
