Hi, I am Katy! I am 25 years old and a happy and social person. I have wanted to work with children for many years and was previously part of a Brownie troupe that helped me learn more about children. As a child I went to a child minder and spent lots of time around other children, this is when I realised I enjoyed interacting with younger children. As a teen I babysat local children while I was doing my GCSEs, one of which was in child development.
My passions are cooking/baking and outdoor sports, both of which I would be able to teach and encourage within your children. I am a very organised person who loves halloween and christmas, I would be able to plan themed activities for your children.
I have 2 cats, which I have had for 2 years, they are a brother and sister who are just over 2, called Tinkerbell and Toothless.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time, Full-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Sheffield for work.

I have completed a masters of science in food consumer marketing and product development and a bsc in Food Marketing Management. I am looking to expand my career possibilities as I love working with kids, but was encouraged to follow my passion for food. I volunteered with children at a brownies troupe for over a year and massively enjoyed this, I would have continued if it was not due to a house move, due to this I have had a DBS check, however it will be specific to the brownie organisation. Like many people, as a teenager I was a baby sitter for local children, this was supported by my GCSE in Child development. I have an interest in food so would always be available to cook with your children and teach them whatever they would like to know. I am a very organised person so your home would be kept neat and tidy.
Hello! I’m George :)
I love to look after children and pets in my spare time. I’m happy to help with homework and chores and cooking along with creative tasks like drawing and playing musical instruments. I’m also happy to look after pets, although I’m most comfortable with cats over any other pets.
I’m proficient in maths and science up to GCSE and A Level, and I enjoy doing art and cooking.
I’ve had pets of my own and I’ve regularly looked after younger family members, so I’m confident in my ability. Throughout school I’ve completed first aid and CPR training and have worked with children with special needs.
I’m happy to work at my home or yours, and I’d love to meet new people :)
