I am a calm and caring individual with a variety of experience in caring for children. I volunteered for 2 years as a young leader for Beavers and Cubs, working with children ranging from the ages of 6-10. In this position I arranged and ran appropriate activities for the entire group. The children particularly enjoyed sports, arts and crafts and cooking activities. On top of this, I have also had various babysitting jobs since the age of 14, working for and building relationships with local families. I worked with a range of ages, from the age of 2 to 12. I often helped the children with homework, entertained them with activities and got them ready for bed. I loved having the opportunity to work closely with families like this and built some wonderful friendships with the children. I come from a family of teachers who are all very passionate about childcare and this is a quality that has transferred onto me. I have helped in a number of schools, both in Nursery and through to Year 6. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know the children and discovering their growing interests. I also studied English at Loughborough Univeristy, which has allowed me to develop a mature and responsible approach to any task that I undertake.
