I have months of experience babysitting family children and have quickly gained the required skills for me to being a trustworthy person to watch over your children, so believe that I am well equipped in the specifics of babysitting!
I am known to be a well-rounded, responsible and mature person, so believe me when I say your children will be safe and well cared for whilst you're not able to be that person. Additionally, I am clean and organised, so while you are gone you will not only will your children have routine but your home and your children's home will be kept up to standard.
Furthermore, I am a very adaptable person which I have learnt is very essential when caring for children who tend to change tasks frequently, so whilst maintaining a comfortable routine I can also divert plans if the need arises. I am also equipped to handle negative emotions in a calming way!
As well as this, I am enthusiastic and have lots of energy so I would be able to keep up with active and lively children, constantly seeking adventure! However, I am also very capable of creating a warm and quiet environment for the quiet times and less boisterous children - I enjoy reading to children and exploring the exciting story with them, getting involved in the voices, encouraging children to join in and hopefully enjoy literature.
Also I am very complaint person, so anything you want done in a specific way can and will be done in exactly the way you want to keep routine in your children's lives as I know how important consistency can be.
Additionally, I am well equipped to handle any potential cuts, scrapes and bruises (although, these are yet to happen in my care but almost inevitable with children). In fact, I am hoping to start a comprehensive first aid course starting in September.
In terms of my education, I have finished secondary school with exceptional results and I'm moving onto college in September where I will maintain the same personal standards - this also makes me well equipped to handle tutoring in primary school education and the early years of secondary school.
Furthermore, I have experience in volunteering where I worked with many school aged children in an environment where I learnt patience and adaptability - It also taught me how to pick up new tasks quickly so if anything changes, you can believe that I will be able to keep up!
