My Summary
About Me
I'm a friendly and creative university graduate. I am dependable and committed to fostering a nurturing and secure environment for children in my care. I can babysit flexible weekday hours for up to 2 kids aged 4+. I'm happy to nanny regularly up to 15 hours per week; however, I'm not registered or able to drive.
Activities I can do with kids:
I studied animation at university, so I'm highly creative and can inspire children of all ages with tailored art projects. I’m excited to introduce them to the basics of drawing, animation, and simple video editing.
I was an assistant tennis coach for young kids, so I'm confident in teaching basic sports skills, organising mini-games, and ensuring kids have fun and are tired out for bedtime. I encourage kids to spend time outdoors and in the garden.
I performed in lots of plays and musicals growing up, so I’m happy to join in with imaginative games and help kids come up with their own stories and characters to act out.
I've taken many exams in Cello and have performed both in an orchestra and as a soloist. I would be thrilled to introduce children to music, encourage them to practise an instrument, or simply enjoy some time listening to and exploring different types of music together.
I enjoy reading to kids and helping them develop their literacy skills. Whether it's reading bedtime stories or helping with homework, I am patient and supportive, ensuring they enjoy the process of learning.
I connect easily with children and excel at creating a balance between being a fun, engaging caregiver and maintaining the necessary boundaries to ensure their safety. I am also able to incorporate moments of quiet reflection where I can discuss important life lessons in a way they can understand.
My Experience
Younger Cousins - I've spent lots of time entertaining my younger cousins since they were born, who are now 11 and 13-year-old girls. I set up treasure hunts, talk about school, and generally make them laugh. I’ve also entertained my 5-year-old cousin with activities like setting up toy car courses.
Assistant tennis coach - I excelled at engaging even the most reserved kids, helping them overcome their shyness and enjoy their time on the court, while building skills. The children were aged around 4 and 5.
Friends’ siblings - I consistently receive positive feedback from friends’ parents who appreciate how well I connect with their children while maintaining a strong focus on their safety and well-being.
My Qualifications
I’m available to babysit during flexible weekday hours and can commit to regular nannying for up to 15 hours per week, thanks to my self-employed schedule.
My Availability
My self-employed status allows me to offer flexible weekday babysitting, with up to 12 hours of regular nannying each week.
