Caring experienced nanny/babysitter looking to help a family on an evening or weekend
| I Have different experiences with childcare, I have been a babysitter since the age of 16, when I was 18 I moved to Austria to become an Au Pair for two young children. At university, I was a head coach for a company that go into schools and help disadvantaged children in their studies, I managed the coaches and children as well as tutor a child myself. Over summer 2017, I worked in an International Summer School in London, taking responsibility of groups of children, supervising them at breakfast, lunch, dinner and curfew as well as taking them out on excursions in the mornings or afternoons, I was the assistant activity manager so It was my role to create and run evening activities for the children. While studying at the University of Exeter, I have worked for a family and looked after two boys, aged 13 and 16. I have worked for the family for two years, my role included; picking them up from school, taking them to their activities, supervising homework, making them a home cooked dinner, light household activities such as, hoovering and ironing.

So far so good. We are one week in so it is difficult to assess fully. Samantha's refences were impeccable. She is very presentable, very diligent and caring to whom our boys have taken too quickly."

A bubbly, energetic and mature 18 year old who loves children!
| Hiya, my name is Leah. I am 18 years old and I absolutely love children! I have grown up helping my parents with my little brother who is mentally disabled, autistic and has epilepsy, hearing loss and sight loss. He’s just about to turn 13 and I have been helping ever since he was a baby. He started with epilepsy 5 years ago so I have been giving him his medication in a yogurt ever since so I am comfortable giving children any medication they may need. As my little brother isn’t like a normal little brother I have matured a lot fast than people my own age and have learned to look after difficult children from a young age. I hope you take me into consideration when you are next looking for a babysitter. I can’t wait to hear from you. Thank you!

A Graduate looking for work in the Summer before starting a career in Educational Psychology!
| As a student, I have helped out with babysitting a number of times during holidays since I was 17 for children ages 2-9. I have been recommended numerous times to friends and families for my calm, yet entertaining, approach to child care, however unfortunately a number of these families have either moved, or their children have grown too old to need babysitting! From April until September I am looking for an opportunity to carry this on in-between graduating from Durham University, and starting a degree in educational psychology at York University in late September!

Keenly involved and responsible. I love creating a comfortable environment for children to thrive.
| Since I was around 14 I have babysat on and off for my neighbours. I have looked after a range of ages and on one occasion, I was entrusted with three young children (on scooters) and a dog to bring to the playground. I do not shy away from the challenges that present themselves when looking after impressionable young children - I love how exciting it can be! As a student at the university of Leeds I am looking for some part- time roles for a bit of fun and some extra money on the side!
