Babysitting kids aged 3-13.
| Hello! My name is Ivana, I’m 22 and I’m from Slovakia. I’m currently a second year student at University of Portsmouth. I grew up around children as I am the eldest in my family and was taking care of my brother and cousins since I was 12 years old. In 2021 I took a gap year and I became an an au pair in Cambridge, where I took care of two kids aged 9 and 13. I also used to take care of their dog. In my home country, I used to take care of my younger cousins during summer and winter holidays. While in high school I used to babysit two kids for 4 years. When I started babysitting them they were 6 and 4. I used to collect them from school, made easy lunch, helped them with homework and played with them. After starting my second year at University I took care of two kids aged 6 and 7 for only a couple of months as I had to leave the family because of my timetable changes. However, I picked them from school, made easy dinner, did homework with them and played until their parents were off work. Currently I babysit a 2 year old boy every thursday evening. I usually play with him for a little bit, read him some books, put him to bed and wait til his parents get back.

Hi, I'm a 20 year old uni student with four months of childcare experience.
| I am very active, enjoying all sports, particularly football, tennis, squash and skiing. I was in the Scouts for a number of years, taking part in all sorts of activities such as orienteering, tent building and cooking. I learned the cello for a number of years and I’m now teaching myself the piano. I adore film and hope for a career in a related field in the future. From the age of 13 I’ve regularly made short films. After leaving school in 2016, I decided to have a gap year to learn a bit more about the world before starting university. I started off by living in Germany to work as an au pair and improve my German. I lived with a single mum looking after a six-year old and two boisterous nine-year old twins. I also worked many babysitting jobs throughout my gap year.
