Babysitters in Bannockburn

| I am a fully qualified Early Years Educator with experience working I have over 7 years experience working full time as an early years practitioner and private nanny both in Australia and across Scotland. I have just recently returned to Scotland from working in Australia for a year on a working holiday visa where I worked with families from different countries to provide care and routine for their children. I am an outgoing girl who loves socialising and meeting new people. I am very easy to get along with and have had experience working as both part of a team and alone. I love to be creative. I am a good listener. Some of my hobbies are socialising with friends, exercising, swimming and going to the cinema. I have also worked closely with a child with autism for 4 years, which I found highly rewarding. I built a close relationship with this family and still keep in contact by babysitting when needed.

| As mentioned above i am studying nursing and I am wanting to go into pediatric nursing because i just love working with kids and helping people out. I am a tennis player so i am a very active person that enjoys doing all sorts of activities. I am a very patient person and have a great tolerance with kids. I have cared for many kids at different ages and never had a problem, i have coached small kids for tennis and i got an autistic cousin that i often care for so i am experienced when it comes to handling all types of situations.

| I have worked in a nursery setting for two and a half years, and have worked with age groups varying from 6 months to 5 years. I have developed a great deal of patience within my job and understand the importance of building secure, trusting relationships with children and parents. I'm comfortable with relevant milestones within childrens learning and development. I can work comfortably with parents to provide opportunities for helping achieve these, examples; crawling, walking, talking and confidence building. Working with children fills me with reward, I love having the opportunity to watch a child develop their own personality and character. I realise that every child is unique and what works for one, may not work for another, care should be specifically catered to each individual. I have a qualification in childcare but also have a degree in art, I love to provide creative and fun experiences that benefit learning whilst providing enjoyment.

I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers as I spend a lot of time with my young nephews. I'm available on Monday and Tuesday evenings and the full day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can be flexible on ocassions. I currently study at The University of Strathclyde commuting from home in Stirling. I’d love to get further experience working with children.
