My Summary

My Experience

At 18 I started working as a nursery school assistant 3 full days a week before going to university and drama school. During this time I volunteered 2 days a week at an after-school homework club for underprivileged children. This is where I gained experience looking after children with learning difficulties and behavioural issues and was assigned to work 1:1 with a child with ADHD. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a private tutor for a high-profile family with 5 children, 2 of which are SEN. So I have experience with a wide range of age groups as well as an understanding and sensitivity to a child's individual needs. As well as teaching the children my responsibilities included travelling with the family for up to 2 weeks at a time, overseeing the activities of the older children, accompanying them on their excursions and generally keeping them entertained.

During this time I also did early years tutoring with various clients across London ranging from 4-8 years old as well as tutoring A-level history. In the last 6 months, I have returned to childcare and been part-time nannying for several families on an ad-hoc basis in particular helping out with school pick-ups, meal prep and bedtime routine. I have also been assisting new mothers with infants under 1 year who are working from home and need an extra pair of hands to help with feeds and nap time while they get some work done. So I am confident looking after babies as well as toddlers and older children.

My Availability

I am looking for both full time or part time work. I’m extremely flexible and happy to work unsociable hours or at late notice.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £12.50 per hour
• Nannying from £15.00 per hour (gross)

My rates for anything less than 3 hours is £15 p/ hr but I am willing to be flexible on fees depending on the hours and the level of help required. For baby sitting jobs where the children are already in bed or overnight sits I am happy to consider a reduced fee to reflect the job requirements.
