Welcome message:

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 :)

1. Look for relevant experience

Speak to families of children with special needs they’ve cared for before.
