| As part of my teacher training, I have worked in both infant and junior schools. As well as teaching whole classes, I have done small group and individual work and have a good relationship with students of all ages. I also have experience working in a pre-school setting from before my course. This means that I can be particularly useful with any homework help as well as looking after your child! Because I am working in a school during term-time, I am available after school, weekends and over school holidays. I am more than happy to provide references if needed and discuss anything else with you. Thanks!

| I have worked with a different age range of children in many different settings. I have a long history of babysitting for families aswell as professional employment within schools, youth residentially, after school clubs etc. Currently looking at evening and weekend work due to my daytime crèche worker position.

| From very young I have always known I wanted to work with children. I started with doing sports leaders at school which is teaching sports and planning indoor and outdoor activities to children aged 4 to 10. After school I did a 2 year Childcare and Education course at level 3 where I learnt how to support the learning and development of babies and early years and how to care for their every need. I then did a paediatric first aid course and got my certificate. When I finished my education I went to London and was employed as a nanny for the Royals of Emirates, where I looked after their 2 year old 24hours as I shared a room with the child and occasionally for their 1 year old. It was the best experience but unfortunately the family wanted to move to Dubai which they asked me to go with them but living abroad wasn't for me at the time. I then worked as a nursery practitioner and now believe I have all the knowledge of how to look after children, keeping them safe, helping with their learning and development, how to provide healthy and nutritious meals and snacks and how to care for their every need.

I come from a big Italian family where I have babysat for all of my younger niece and nephews since they were babies. I would often look after my niece and nephews after school and on the weekend, taking them to the park, playing games and making them lunch and dinner before getting them ready for bed.

I'm extremely friendly and empathetic, and enjoy helping people whenever I can.

| My name is Bailey, I'm 30, and I've been working with kids on and off for twelve years. I'm schooled in several disciplines and techniques of childcare, including Montessori and Waldorf, and great at writing curriculum for kids of all ages. I worked at a summer camp for several years running, I ran and worked for after school programs, and to be completely honest, I just love working with kids. My hobbies include the typical reading and cooking, but also I sing and play guitar (tons of kid-themed stuff!), write, I enjoy fixing electronics, and camping.

| Hi, my name is Sharon. I'm a young at heart 48 year old !! who enjoys working and caring for children. I have 3 children who are 24,17 and 16years old. I have worked as both Room Leader and Nursery nurse within the nursery environment as well as being a nanny when I was younger. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a nanny and always thought of the job with fond memories. Now my children are older I feel as though I can give the commitment needed to be a nanny. At the present time I am caring for two families (nanny share). My hours are before & after school care. Assisting the children prepare for school and dropping off. After school I collect the children, prepare & cook tea, taking children to various activities and socialising with their friends. I also help out with household duties to support the families.

| Whilst at school, I done a lot of work helping younger children in after school clubs and volenteering in lessons during my free periods. Around this time I also became a scout leader, during which I had to do a lot of training on working with children and keeping them entertained. I've spent a lot of time leading activities, and helping the children lead activities to help improve their confidence. I spent this summer working at a summer camp in the US through the camp America program, as such I have up to date CPR and first aid training, and have experience working with large numbers of children both in activities, and then ensuring their safety overnight.

| As a dedicated childcare provider with 4 years of experience, my passion is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to grow and thrive. I understand the unique needs of each child and tailor my care to their individual personalities and development stages. I am committed to fostering their emotional, social, and cognitive growth while ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. Childcare: I offer full-time and part-time childcare services, including day care, after-school care, and occasional babysitting. My focus is on creating a structured yet flexible routine that encourages learning through play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. Meal Preparation: Nutritious meals and snacks are an essential part of a child's development. I am skilled in preparing balanced and kid-friendly meals, accommodating dietary restrictions when necessary. I believe that children learn best when they feel loved, valued, and secure. My approach is to provide a caring and supportive atmosphere where children can build confidence, develop social skills, and explore their interests. I aim to be a partner with parents in their child's growth journey.

| Whilst at home I lived with three younger siblings, two brothers (15 and 5) and a sister (9). I was the go to babysitter in my area as I was always babysitting /cooking and caring for them on a regular basis and thoroughly enjoy spending time with them. I take them out all the time after school and was then introduced to a few other families from my sibling's school who approached my mum to ask if I would be able to work for them. I worked for one family in particular very regularly who lived in our village. This included looking after three boys (ages 4, 7 and 14) and a girl (aged 10). This always felt like more of a second family to me rather than a job. Working with children comes naturally to me and I find it really easy to get on with children and entertain them. I am punctual and trustworthy and am the type of person who will use initiative in difficult situations or challenges I am faced with. An example of this, would be whilst babysitting the children on a particularly lively day, we played our own version of 'Britain's Got Talent' taking turns to perform. This was a fun way of keeping the children occupied. I was often required to look after their cousins (1 and 3 years old). This meant being responsible for six children at a time, which was not an issue for me. I then moved to Sheffield Hallam University in 2015, and although I am studying, I have continued to expand my experience with children by taking on volunteer roles. I volunteer as an Appropriate Adult with SOVA where I ensure that young people's rights are protected throughout their process of the criminal justice system and I support them in a challenging time of their life. I have also been introduced to the National Youth Advocacy Service where I volunteer as an Independent Visitor to children in care by taking them out for the day and doing activities of their choice, providing them with support and stability.

| I am happy to do pick ups and drop offs to activities, care after school or weekend activities. I have been regularly babysitting children for the last 9 years, this work included taking care of children at their homes, doing drop-offs and pick ups and taking the children to and participating in activities. I have babysat children from age 1 to 15 years and am happy taking care of any age groups. I also have sport coaching and dance teaching experience, as well as classroom teaching assistance experience in primary schools. I would describe myself as a mature, energetic, compassionate and organized person. I am also very active; I enjoy spending my free time running, swimming, hiking and playing sports like netball and hockey. I am originally from Greenwich, London, but I am currently studying Sport and Exercise Science at Sheffield Hallam University, starting my final year in September 2023. I have access to my own car for jobs if necessary.
