Childcare in Edinburgh

| I am reliable, committed and responsible and enjoy looking after children. I have babysat for family, friends and neighbours from a young age and have always wanted to work in the care sector. Just after finishing school I went abroad to do au pairing in ####.#### involved looking after three children ages 3,5 and 7. The role involved assisting them in their daily activities and teaching them English which Expanded my knowledge and communication skills. I have also completed an HNC in social services and an SVQ 3 in children and young people. Through this I was able to carry out a placement at Braidburn special needs school. This involved supporting children with various additional needs. This allowed me to apply the knowledge taught from lectures and tutorials when working with these children to support them to the best of my ability. In addition to this, I have also worked at leaps and bounds after school club supporting primary school children. I have had a lot of experience working with various different children and feel I am well suited to the role of child care.

Hi my name is Sarah and I am 25 years old. I am a qualified midwife. There are very few jobs for midwives just now so I decided to go into childcare as I love children. I previously worked for a childcare company where I worked in a variety of nurseries around Edinburgh, working with children ages 0-5 years. I then worked for a family as a nanny where I took care of two little girls ages 4 years and her younger sister from when she was just 4 weeks old. I did this right up until I went on maternity leave last year to have my own daughter in June 2015. I am registered with the care inspectorate and have also had a PVG disclosure done recently. I am a very responsible, reliable and trustworthy person who loves taking care of other people especially children. I hope you enjoy reading my profile and please do not hesitate to get in touch if you feel we could work well together.

| Hello I'm Alison I am 25 and I live in Portobello! Recently back from Au Pairing in the French Alps and studying part time at uni for a degree in counselling. Currently nannying for key workers but I do still have availability. I am outgoing, energetic and patient understanding that every child has there own individual needs. Over 9 years childcare experience. Limited availability but flexible with this and available for evening and weekend babysitting. I enjoy spending time outdoors, getting messy and being creative. I am fully qualified and have experience with children from new borns to 18 years of age, experience with special needs and autism also. Please feel free to give me a message to further discuss availability, references, CV and to allow you to get to know me better. I can also cook homemade and healthy child friendly meals, more than happy to do bath and bedtime routine and also have experience and availability to do overnight stays. During my nursery experience I was part of the management team so I have a strong knowledge of curriculum that I try to incorporate into fun daily experiences with the children.

| I am incredibly loyal and endlessly compassionate; quick to smile and honest. I have studied in the field of art and design from a very young age and actively encourage curiosity and play. I have many hobbies, including running, rock climbing, drawing, painting, pottery, knitting and reading – all activities I thoroughly enjoy sharing in. I also love to cook. In addition to 6 years of babysitting, I also have been working as a Playworker at an after-school-club in Edinburgh for the last 3 years. I am responsible and care for children between the ages of 4 and 6 before they are collected by their guardians. Although it is a very demanding environment, it is also very rewarding. I provide safe, stimulating and creative play for the children; meeting the individual needs of each child with careful and dedicated attention. Working as part of a team of people with various ages and experiences has taught me a great deal of diplomacy; something which I use now in my daily life and would strive to bring to my role. The role also requires flexible and motivated Playworkers; characteristics I strongly possess. Supervising children during indoor and outdoor play has developed my ability to observe and respond to risks efficiently.

| I have just over 8 years experience working with children. Working with all ages I have worked in a nursery, school, after school club and as a nanny for 2 lovely families. I have also done a couple of training courses on top of my childcare courses. Can provid references

| I am a very energetic and motivated individual in all areas of my life (fitness, health, studies and relationships). I moved to Edinburgh in 2015 to follow my deep rooted dream to become a Social Worker. I am currently in third year of my Social Work degree in the University of Edinburgh. I have often been described as very easy going and open minded. My personality therefore makes it very easy for me to form natural rapports with many types of people. I have bags of experience looking after children, across the full age spectrum, including experience working with children with both mild and profound learning/physical disabilities. In the past I was a frequent babysitter for both my family and friends. In addition to this, I moved to San Francisco to play Gaelic football for the summer of 2016, however over this period I also began working as nanny for an American family. I took care of all three children, ranging from 3 months to 8 years old. I believe my university degree is continually equipping me with new, fun and engaging ways to communicate and care for children. I have been a Witness Support worker for NSPCC, this means that I was supporting and interacting with children in a fun but organised way so they were confident and prepared to present their evidence in a court setting. Furthermore, I have volunteered in Firhill Day centre, interacting and working alongside children with profound disabilities. Furthermore, I consider myself to be a kind, reliable, honest and responsible individual. I understand the huge responsibility parents entrust in others to mind their children and their determination and motivation to make the right selection for their family. Due to my studies, unfortunately I will only be able to commit myself to weekend work and some specific days during the week.

| I am a mother of two girls: Hanna- 3 and Paulina- 7 years. I am newly registered childminder and qualified early years practitioner. I have been working in different childcare settings since 2011. First Aid certificate and a full UK driving licence. I enjoy baking and cooking with children as well as exploring outdoors. Available during the week or for weekend and evening babysitting upon request.
