Happy, Bubbly, Experienced Child-Care Giver
| Hi, my name is Lauren and I am 22. I hold a CACHE Level 2 childcare qualification (and a Bsc Degree in Criminology) as well as an enhanced DBS. I worked in a day nursery as a volunteer for 18 months, which catered for ages 6 months - 4 years (school starting). As well as this, I regularly and independently provided care for my twin relatives, from birth until they started school. I provided care in all aspects from feeding (preparing bottles and then meals), bathing, napping, making activities both indoors and outdoors, and providing a generally stimulating and comforting environment for them. This has given me great experience throughout their progression from newborn to school age, and has left me confident to deal with twins, or more than one child at a time. I am honest, trustworthy, and a genuinely caring person. I´m truly believe from the bottom of my heart that children are the most fantastic gift that should be loved and cherished wholly. I hold a full, clean UK drivers license also with my own car. If you have any questions or want to chat about potential childcare, I am always happy to do so. Many thanks.

| Hello! My name's Abby and I'm a qualified teacher with a three year old daughter who will be going to nursery in September. Unfortunately, teaching wasn't for me so I decided to work freelance doing what I love - childacare and music! I run a little music business from home, singing on TV and radio adverts, am looking to pick up a few extra hours of childcare. Having 4 younger siblings, a daughter and several nieces and nephews, I enjoy a busy, bustling life and can relate well to children. I received an enhanced DBS and First aid training when I was a teacher, and although both are expired now I’d be more than happy to discuss reapplying for these. I also have my own car and a full, clean driving licence so am happy to drop off/pick up. In an ideal situation I’d love to be able to bring my daughter with me to work in the School holidays as my husband works full time, but it’s not essential. I absolutely love children and have experience of all ages and am also very comfortable with animals, I have two dogs and a cat myself. I’m happy to help with homework, cook meals, help with housework etc. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
