I have been babysitting for the last eight years. I have experience with two special needs children from different families (developmental disabilities and genetic mutation-related disabilities) and children under the age of 12 months as well as children up to the age of thirteen.
On my gap year I was a nanny for six months for one of the families mentioned above, who had a special needs child – I really enjoyed my time there and still babysit when I am not at university. I was very proud to be the first nanny they allowed to care for the children overnight.
I am confident changing nappies and getting children ready for bed, including bath time and brushing teeth, as well as helping feed the children at dinner. I have experience safely driving the children to and from school and helping with homework.
While I don’t have formal nannying qualifications, I am experienced with long days (12 hours+) and I have eight GCSE’s as well as three A-levels including: History, Drama and Business, in which I achieved three As. I am currently in my final year studying for a degree in business and entrepreneurship at the University of Southampton.
