My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Jess!
I’m 37 years old and have recently transitioned from a career as a chef into working in youth justice. I’m currently studying while working full-time as a teaching assistant at a SEND school. I also volunteer with young offenders at Medway Council, which has deepened my understanding of working with young people from diverse backgrounds.
I’m passionate about helping children thrive and learn in an environment that’s safe, supportive, and fun. I love cooking up child-friendly meals, doing arts and crafts, learning activities, or simply being a reliable and compassionate caregiver.
I'm available for evening and weekend babysitting work, and once the school summer holidays begin, I will be available full-time. I look forward to meeting your family!
My Experience
I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most vulnerable children in a variety of settings. As a teaching assistant at both a SEND school and a pupil referral unit, I’ve gained hands-on experience supporting children with complex needs and those who may be struggling in traditional educational environments. These roles have taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to individual learning and emotional needs.
In addition, I’ve worked at a kids' holiday club, where I was responsible for leading fun, educational activities for children of various ages. I also volunteered as a teaching assistant in refugee camps in France and Greece, working with children from diverse backgrounds and helping to provide a sense of normalcy and care in difficult circumstances.
On a personal level, I frequently babysit my 5-year-old niece and 2-year-old nephew, which has given me hands-on experience in looking after younger children and creating a safe, playful environment where they can thrive.
