Working with children has been an on-going dream for me. Being in their presence, watching them grow and thrive, learn and develop, is all part of such a rewarding job.
I mostly look after my two cousins who are aged 3 and 5 years old. During the time I spend with them I enjoy taking them on day trips out to museums and play parks, because this is what they enjoy the most. I have looked after these two children since the youngest was only 1 1/2 years old. I have experience with much younger children. I usually cook their dinner and their tea. When looking after them over night I put them to bed.
I have also spent 2 years at college studying child care, and just recently have been given a CACHE Level 3 Support, Teaching and Learning qualification. I have worked in a primary school on placement for the past two year of being at college. These children are aged between 5-6 years old. So if any I have experienced a lot more in this age range.
Working with children isn't a job for me, because its enjoyable, fun and I'm passionate about what I do because I just love being around children. If I was given the opportunity to look after your children, you won't regret it.
