My full name is Ruvarashe but I like to be called Ru.
I am responsible, organised and bubbly!
I have always loved working with children from babysitting family to doing charity for Skylark Children’s ward to then working for Rock Up hosting children’s parties.
I am currently studying my Masters Degree in Project Management and looking for a part time job that I will enjoy and can work around my studies.
I enjoy baking, cooking and all things creative, I even help my mum ( who works as a social carer for children with autism) to plan activities for the children that aren’t just looking at a screen. With my university experience I am also able to help with some learning activities as well and keeping them fun so the children learn and enjoy.
My name is Tiffany,I’m currently enrolled in Northampton college and I have worked as a young youth person for 4 years and still continue to help out as much as I can, during the youth days in the summer I’ve looked after tweens and toddlers in small groups to help them grow as a team but as an individual.I have my GCSE qualifications and my experience comes through being an older sister of 3 (two toddlers and a tween).Personally, I know that anyone can rely on me,I’m responsible and I understand kids but I love to know them for who they are as an individual but also watch them grow.I worked at a party host and receptionist at 360 play for a while which was a big starting point to why I would like to help other families.

Hi! I'm Zoe and I'm 18 years old, I previously worked in a nursery as an apprentice but the company had some problems with funding and financial issues, I'm waiting to continue my place in the nursery as I love working with children and would love to get my qualifications. Babysitting would also give me more experience with different age groups. I'm comfortable caring for almost any age as I babysit for my friends and family too! I'd love to help out parents in any situation, day or night.
I'm reliable and responsible, I love to read stories and draw and have a great imagination for playing pretend!
