I am a polite, responsible and intuitive undergraduate.
| My mum is a Chiltern Nanny and so I’ve always heard about her work and have been with her when she was working for some of the families. When I was at school, the main way I’d earn a bit of pocket money was through baby sitting and tutoring. I tutored 3 children (aged 5,9 and 13 by the end) for 2 years and at the end of my time with them their grades had improved significantly. I did that 6 hours a week for 2 years so am very experienced in tutoring and helping with homework. Furthermore, I aupaired in London for a month with 3 children aged 7,9 and 11. My responsibilities included cooking lunch and sometimes dinner, taking them to museums and parks and playing with them at home. In addition to this, I’ve also been volunteering in Senegal and Peru either taking care of children at orphanages or teaching English to underprivileged street children. I’m also lucky enough to be half Spanish and half English so I can speak both languages fluently. My French is also of a high level.

Kind and experienced babysitter
| Hi. I'm Lucy, I'm studying for a bachelors in History, I have lots of experience with child care. I volunteered in Tanzania at an impoverished school where I was in charge of teaching CPR, basic English and sanitation to over 400 children ages 4-15. This summer I am heading back there as the leader of the young children's initiative. Alongside this I have extensive back round checks, which I needed when I volunteered as a museum guide for primary school children in Hackney, again this consisted of looking after children as young as 3. I spent 2018/19 caring for a young child in Durham including cooking, teaching and putting to bed. I also have experience with older children, as I worked as a young leader for my local scouting organization for over 2 years, most of these great kids were around 8 to 13, and very energetic so I'm used to being adaptable and fun but also reasonable! If you so wish I am able to help with either English or history homework as my specialty is essay writing and I hope to teach children later in life, so I welcome any offers for tutoring alongside babysitting. Please do get in touch as I would appreciate any opportunities. Thanks Lucy
