After School Care Cheltenham

| Hello. My name is Sharon. I have 2 children of my own ages 18 and 11. I have worked in schools, nurseries and after school clubs for approximately 18 yrs. I am pediatric first aid trained, safeguarding trained and hold a level 2 in childcare. I have also special needs experience particularly with autism. I look forward to hearing from you.

| I am a mum to 3 children, well youngest is now 18, 2 girls and a boy. I am very calm and understanding. I enjoy cooking and baking, riding my pony and walking my dogs. I was looking after 2 young boys for 18 months, 2 and 4, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but was no longer needed as Mum decided not to work anymore as she was commuting to London. I did school runs, cooked for them daily, organised weekly menus, washing and ironing, walked the dog and light housekeeping, including occasional overnight stays. I have more recently been looking after 4 year old twins in a similar role I helped a young family with their 2 year old little boy. Sadly, this came to an end because of COVID-19. I am currently working in a day nursery covering 3 hours daily over lunchtime, so I can be available from 3pm for after school care and also babysitting. I have also worked on the bank staff for the NHS nursery, as and when. Two of the children that I have looked after were on Myplan so I do also have experience of this. I am always keen to help out whenever I can, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.

| I have worked in primary schools as a teaching assistant and after school clubs with ages from 3 - 11 year olds with agencies, I was also a Carer/Cleaner for 8 years on/off..I am caring, funny, playful, honest and hardworking.

| Hello, my name is Lydia and I am 21 years old. I am currently in my 2nd Year of University studying to be a Children’s Nurse.

| Experience: I looking after children in 2016 and have enjoyed spending time with and looking after children ever since. These children were aged 2 - 7, and I’ve also cared for my own sibling after school through the ages of 8 - 15. My usual duties while caring for children include: Cooking balanced meals (that are also fun and inviting for children), bedtime routines, helping with schoolwork, playtime, and cleaning. (I've put 2 years exp. as I my eight years experience was more 'as and when', so would be more equal to 2 years of full time experience). I also have experience with: Dogs, cats, Hamsters, Rodents, Fish and Birds. Duties usually include: Feeding, Walking, Cleaning and lots of cuddles and playtime! So am happy to care for the pets in your home also. More about me: I enjoy reading, writing, and am an aspiring actor. I currently work as an event medic and have First Aid and BSL qualifications. I love the outside and am happy to take children in my care on walks to the park or just to get some fresh air. I enjoy Disney and family animated films so spending an evening rewatching your child's favourite film four times in a row actually sounds like my ideal evening! I don't drink, smoke, or vape.

| Hi, I’m Michaela, I’m 24 and I’m looking for a little work on the side of my current job. I am a qualified primary and early years teacher, but I currently do supply to gain more experience and continue professional development. I often take up nursery work during school holidays, but would like to take up baby sitting too.

However, during the holidays I am available to babysit during week days.

| I worked in a nursery for two years, I traveled between the baby room, toddler room and ore-school room, I also used to pick up the after school children and do activities with them until collection time. In the nursery I would plan fun learning activities for the children and ensure that they were engaging. I had 6 key children so I had to ensure they were meeting their next steps and if they weren’t I would plan activities to help them along. I recently just finished covering for another nanny who was off sick. I was there for just over a month. I did the school runs in the morning and afternoon for the eldest boy and during the day I planned fun activities and days out for the youngest.

| I have years experience both Nanny and in Nursery Childcare. My most recent position was as a Nanny to a family with 5 children (3 of whom were under school age - a set of baby twins and a toddler). I looked after the girls in their home on a daily basis and prepared lunches, did some light housework such as making beds, tidying up and ironing when children were napping. I am a massive fan of getting children out and about to experience activities in the area - often going to the park, toddler groups, activities such as baby ballet, monkey music, swimming (dependent on number of children). I have a QCF Level 3 Qualification in Childcare in addition to being a Level 5 qualified dance teacher. I have an enhanced DBS. I have a full clean UK driving license and am paediatric first aid trained. I am available for late afternoon (sort of 4.30pm onwards) and evenings during the week, and most times at the weekends.
