My Summary

My Experience

I currently work at a local farm called cockfields farm. My job role includes looking after animals and during the holidays working as an entertainer.

On the farm I primarily work with families, educating them on our animals, or I will be working as an entertainer which can involve anything such as putting on shows, party tractor rides to pig races. The pig race involves me getting our pigs to run around a track and get some healthy exercise, while I try not to slip in mud. It is a very energetic and fun job where I get to have incredible interactions daily with children and our animals.

Prior to this I worked at a local cafe as a barista and front of house member. It was a small team so I had the opportunity to pick up a lot of responsibility and learn a lot. I strengthened my ability to work quickly and efficiently as well as maintaining a positive customer experience. Customer interactions are my biggest strength, I love getting to meet new people and create positive relationships. I was also entrusted with closing the cafe and doing the cash up, which helped my confidence grow with each responsibility. As my time there went on and we took on new staff, I had the responsibility of supervising and training new staff members, making sure they felt safe, happy and comfortable. It was an incredible experience I feel very lucky to have had. I left more confident and able to do some fancy latte art.

My Qualifications

I have a Bachelors degree with honours in criminology from Leeds Beckett University which I got a 2:1.

My a levels were in Sociology (B), Philosophy (B) and Law (D*)

I also finished secondary school with A-C’s in every subject including maths, English, science and health and social care.

My Availability

I currently live in Tameside, however my partner lives in Lincoln and I currently spend most of my time there. I happy to be in both areas but would like to expand my work opportunities to both cities.

My job at the farm has become a casual role, which means the shifts are fleeting currently. This means I have full availability and can choose my hours at the farm so can work around any childcare hours. As much as I love it there I want to have a more proactive lifestyle and work as much as possible.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £10.00 per hour

I would like my fees to be as fair as possible. My priority is that you get the best childcare without having to worry about excess finance. As long as it complies with minimum wage I would work from as little as £10 an hour
