Hello I'm Yolanda, I am a young, independent baby sitter from the local area looking to provide babysitting, care and basic childminding to children aged 4-11. I have previously worked in a childcare setting at my local primary school, and have picked up a wealth of knowledge in caring for early years children as well as obtaining all the relevant training and qualifications. I have also dabbled in casual babysitting, for family and friends. So I have hands on experience with working outside of a school routine i.e. putting kids to bed, homework help and play. I come from an art and design background and love to encourage children to express themselves through all forms of art as well as nurture any interests they may have. I am currently a student at Oxford Brookes doing an undergrad in graphic design, but I would love the opportunity to build upon my current babysitting experience alongside my studies. My ethos is to create a warm, welcoming environment for your children so that they can feel safe and supported but also be free to articulate themselves and be independent. I hope to hear from you!
