Hi!

-17 -No criminal record and am happy to get a DBS check to show you if you would like -Can provide ID -Can provide references and proof of qualifications -Affordable and flexible with availability and rate -Happy to do video calls before starting

I am a friendly, responsible, and kind. I am good at staying calm even when I’m stressed. My hobbies are mostly fitness (especially martial arts and kickboxing), horse riding, art, and motorbiking.

Experience and Qualifications

I have various experiences and formal training that make me suitable for looking after children

Looking after my younger brother

Growing up as the eldest sibling, I’ve always been caring for and looking after my younger brother, who is 3/4 years younger. Ive helped and still help with homework, cooking, cleaning, looking after and looking out for him in general.

Babysitting and Tutoring

I’ve looked after my friends younger siblings too, playing with them and keeping them safe. I also worked as a tutor/homework helper for a younger girl, helping with multiple subjects and teaching touch typing.

Care

My first job involved assisting an elderly lady with daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, developing my patience and caring skills.

Housekeeping and Cleaning

i’ve completed professional housekeeping training, learning how to maintain spaces to a high standard—useful for keeping a safe and clean environment for children.

Leadership and Childcare Training:

I attended a two-week residential training program focused on training for looking after young children. I gained training in child safety, first aid, safeguarding, how to interact positively and conflict resolution.

STEM Holiday Program Tutor

I was selected to teach STEM to primary school children during the holidays at a private school. Though the program didn’t run due to low enrolment, I received all the training for working with children and received certifications in emergency first aid, safeguarding, COSHH awareness, food safety and engaging interactions with children.

Im very flexible with availability and pay. If you need a long full day of childcare, I’m happy to work for as low as £6.40 p/h if moneys an issue and for other hours Im very reasonable, just depends on what you would like me do/help out with and the amount of responsibility for the day.

Let me know if you’re interested or would like to know anything else about me! Thanks for reading - N
