My Summary
About Me
I moved to Glasgow from Italy 5 years ago. I recently graduated in Applied Psychology and wrote my final year dissertation on childhood empathy development. I'm friendly, patient and practical. I speak both Italian and English fluently and will be able to provide for bi-lingual children. I'm interested in arts and crafts, jigsaw puzzles and baking, all activities I'd love to engage in together! I am also happy to provide help with homework and reading for any age!
I do not have any food or environmental allergies, and I am able to care for eventual pets in the home (cats and dogs only).
I hold a provisional license only and am planning on sitting my driving test in the summer.
My Experience
I currently hold a position as playworker in a Karemore Limited out-of-school club. I work with children 5-11. In my position, I'm required to supervise groups of children in a 1:10 ratio, to create and engage the children in afternoon acitivities, providing snacks and direct group games. I believe in the importance of educational leisure activities appropriate for each age group. Art education, physical education, health and safety education and culinary education are some of the areas that influence my games and activities.
I have also gained childcare experience through my position as a Student Mentor at GCU. Particularly, I mentored a group a P1 children in the STEM project, where we learned about technology in fun and practical ways.
I'm looking for casual or recurrent babysitting opportunities in the morning.
My Qualifications
I have held a PVG for the past 3 years. I hold Emotional Literacy, Basic First, Paedriatic First Aid certificates and I'm always updating my knowledge on childcare and childhood practices. I am enrolled in a number of courses studying child development, particularly on children's perspective on play.
