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 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 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.

| Hello!! My name is Sherne. If you can pronounce that right then that makes you part of the 1% that can! My mother blessed me with one of THOSE names. I am 30 years old. I myself have three beautiful sons. I have experience with children on the spectrum as well as twins. I am happy to work with children of any age. I am quite an artsy woman and don't mind getting my hands full of sticky yucky things that make children smile. I am happy to do over night stays as a night nurse as well as general babysitting and regular childcare. I look forward to hearing from you.

| 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 have been working with children on and off for the last 10 years. I started nannying as a summer job when I was a teenager and worked with the same family for 3 summers before going to university. I also taught choir to girls aged 6-8 for a year. I provided day time childcare for my sister for 3 years when she went back to work after having her daughter. Most recently in the last year during the pandemic I worked with 2 families home schooling their children instead of doing remote learning with their school. I taught kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd grade full time. I followed the local curriculum, planned projects and field trips, and assigned and supervised homework. I am comfortable working with children from newborns to teenagers and have many years of experience with all ages. I am organized and professional but love to play and fun as well!

| Hello! I throughly enjoy looking after and caring for children. I find it an extremely rewarding and fulfilling career to have. Teaching the children and helping them with their development is something I find very interesting, it’s great to see them grow and discover new things. Qualified and experienced Nanny and have been working in the childcare sector for just over 10 years. Have experience working in the family home, in a crèche environment and working as a children’s entertainer. Over the years I have been involved with many volunteering opportunities, helping out with children’s fun days and family festivals. Enjoy cooking and baking, arts and crafts, messy play and outdoor activities. I love to continuously study new topics in childcare, I have joined many evening and weekend webinars during last years lockdown. Currently I’m studying an introduction to Nutrition in the Early Years. References from all previous families can be passed on. Look forward to hearing from you! Amy

| 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 have qualifications in childcare and education, as well as a certificate in child nutrion. I have also recent undergone CPD certified courses in the follow; basic life support, health and safety, infection control and safeguarding of children and adults. I strive to be a positive influence to anyone under my care and love to plan creative, fun, engaging and educational activities which can be great for building and developing new skills. As well as the serious stuff, I hope to build a good relationship where the child/children feel safe, cared for and supported: this applies to parents too!

| 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.
