Hello I'm Kayleigh, a happy bubbly character looking for a new family to care for!
| Hello lovely people, I'm Kayleigh! I have achieved a CACHE diploma in childcare and education. I also have an up to date DBS, first aid training and level 2 in food and hygiene! I have worked in; nurseries, schools, family homes, children's clubs and summer camps. I have my own means of transport, love staying active and adventuring outdoors. My CV is attached so please take the time to read and send me a message with any questions!
Kayleigh is a caring, thoughtful and beautiful person inside and out. She is punctual and professional while looking after our 2 boys age 9 and 11. The fact that my children are autistic doesn't make the slightest difference to her, she asks questions about what they like and don't like and listens to our children's special needs without judgement or question. Because Kayleigh follows our advice our boys absolutely love it when we tell them we are going out saying "does this mean Kayleigh is coming round?" We are more than happy to recommend Kayleigh to look after children, we trust Kayleigh completely and she does a fantastic job, enabling us to enjoy our trip out with complete confidence that our home and our children are being very well looked after. Ps our dog loves Kayleigh almost as much as the boys do."
