Childcare in Edinburgh

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.

I have many years of childcare experience and looking for a change... Maximum 2 children .... Prefer live unless near where I live in Edinburgh and easy to get to I don't own a car here but I drive.

| Being the eldest sister, to my four siblings, I could say my experience in childcare has started very early. I have always had a special connection with children and, in 2017, I decided to act upon it. In fact, in 2017 and 2018 I have completed an internship in one of the local kindergartens in Italy in Albisola. There, I have learned a lot of different skill. In addition, I have received extremely positive feedback that proved that my passion and experience to that point were not futile. Throughout the years I've also been quite successful at helping children and teenagers with homework. I have an advanced knowledge of three languages: English, Italian and French (level C1-C2) and I also know German (B1-B2), while I've just started studying Spanish (A1-A2) I can cook a good variety of dishes from different cuisines, in particular, I love preparing delicious vegan dishes, yet I can adapt quite easily.

| While I don't have any formal experience working in child care, I am eager to learn and grow in this field. I have always enjoyed spending time with children and find it incredibly rewarding to engage with them and help them learn and grow. I am a patient, kind, and nurturing person with a strong work ethic and a willingness to take on new challenges. I understand the importance of providing a safe, fun, and stimulating environment for children to thrive in, and I am committed to doing everything I can to ensure that children in my care feel happy, comfortable, and supported. I am a quick learner and am eager to receive any training or guidance needed to excel in this role. I believe that my positive attitude, compassion, and enthusiasm make me a great fit for a child care role, and I am excited to contribute to the well-being of the children in my care.

| 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.

| I have over 30 years experience looking after children. My first role was as childminder for my elder sister, looking after her 4 children when she returned to work. These children are now all in their 30s! I have cared for my own children, two sons, who are now aged 23 and 29 years. I am a Great Auntie to 9 adorable children from aged 1 year to 13 years. I look after my great nephews and nieces regularly and therefore have hands on recent younger child care experience. I am passionate about children, I love spending time caring for and playing with them, helping them develop and I take great care to ensure they are safe, happy and motivated. I am also very happy if there are pets around as I am also a dog and cat lover! I am 59 years of age and, having been made redundant from my director role with a charitable organisation a couple of years ago, I took early retirement. I therefore now have the opportunity and flexibility to do something I love and to offer my services as a nanny, helping young families cope with their busy lives - something I know only too well is a difficult task! I am very happy to provide references on request, and to go through any additional checks (eg. DBS/PVG), etc. As required.

| I work with different families looking after their children aged between 5 months and 12 years old. 079 My duties are developed, nurtured and care for children, organized and take part in leisure activities such as games, crafts, comics, outings, and exercise. I help children in their health and personal habits such as eating, resting and toilet habits.094 I was in charge of the meals preparation, support the child in their social development and encourage them to have the habit of reading going to the library. 41087 In addition, another responsibility is to pick them up from the school to home.

| My name is Rachael, I’m a nursery teacher who also teaches English to children aged 5-8 in my free time. I’m a very friendly, open minded person who has a real passion caring for children. Im the eldest of five sisters where I think my passion comes from, I’m very nurturing, caring, flexible individual who can adapt to different needs in my field of work. I have lots of experience - from being a volunteer at summer camps to being an AuPair in China. I also have a paediatric first aid qualification which is kept up to date every two years. I have lots of nursery rhymes stored in my head, which at times I catch myself singing in my own home. I’m able to complete hygiene routines and bedtimes for children, if it’s required. I have at least 4 years experience in childcare, I’m very knowledgeable at my job and would be a responsible, compassionate, patient person who would be more than happy to help out with your family.

| im 23 years old I have had over 7 years working in childcare. I worked in a nursery For 4/5 years and become a qualified practitioner level SVQ3. I have only been a nanny for 3 years but I love it. I love working with children I always have, I am on mat leave just now and looking for something 3 days a week about 30hours. I do babysitting also.

| CURRENTLY WITH FAMILY. OPEN TO OCCASIONAL BABYSITTING. I am looking for a role as a part-time nanny, in the evenings and/or at the weekends. I was previously a nanny throughout my university career & post-graduating for the same family. I looked after two children from ages 8 months - 7 & 2 - 9. Only stopping as the family no longer need child care. As I was with this family whilst the children grew up my responsibilities changed with them. Starting with feeding, bathing, cleaning, taking to activities - then over the years moving to school pick/up & drop-off & helping with homework, and just helping out the family. I really enjoyed watching the children grow up and building trust and of course just generally having fun. I would love to integrate with a new family and build the same level of trust and respect. Please feel free to get in touch so I can go answer any questions!

| I understand that the early years of child growth are vital as the stepping stones to their successful future. Because of this, it’s important to focus on their mental growth and promote learning & development. I’m bilingual & I’ve excellent English speaking skills, have no trouble communicating with them in a warm & polite manner. I’m well presented, punctual, and responsible. I’ve experience of child care & do understand a slight change of mood/behavior of a child. Every child have different personalities so they all deserve to be treated differently.

| As a Child caregivers I look after the basic needs of children, such as dressing, feeding, and supervising their playtime. I also provide a beneficial learning environment and a safe “home away from home” for little ones. I am a person who love working with children and who naturally have a fun, enthusiastic attitude will thrive as child caregivers. It is common for childcare givers to work in childcare centers, private daycares, with long hours so that parents can drop off and pick up their children before and after work..

| 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 currently also studying an online TEFL course (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), and aspire to teach English to people from all around the world.

I will help them to stay on top of their homework, read with/to them, play sports/games, cook, do arts and crafts, as well as take them out of the house for activities and outings. I will always give you as the parent comprehensive and honest feedback, and keep you up to date with what they get up to.

I am also willing to do some overtime, as well as the odd late evening babysitting or weekend work, but would charge 10. I have had 3 years of experience of working as a nanny in London.
