Responsible and caring babysitter looking for work in the Leeds area
| Hi there! I’m a young person and student at the University of Cambridge, who has experience in childcare settings and loves looking after young children. I am patient, responsive and accommodating towards the needs of parents and, most importantly, I enjoy looking after the children in my care.

I have flexible availability during university holidays when I’m back in Leeds, and should be free most evenings for babysitting services.

Hi my name is Vanessa. 25 years old. Lives in Leeds 9.
| I enjoy working with children as a day to day thing. I have had at least 4 years experience with children. I have worked in nursery, year 1 and year 2. I have a lot of qualification in child care and First Aid. I know how to monitor a child, how to keep a child active and how to communicate well with a child. I can notice if there is a change in a child's behaviour, which children struggle to communicate and interact with other children, the health and safety for the children. I have worked with children for 3 years as a work placement so I do not have any paid experience. I am not in work at the moment and I am willing to work any hours. I have a babysitting job as well but that is very rare I do it, unless the parents are going out but I do take them to the park on a weekend when they want to go. I make sure they are fed well and have plenty of fluid whilst I take them out. I really enjoy working with children and it is definitely my dream job. If any of you are interested, then please contact me. Thank you.

Full Time Nanny
| Im 26 and first started off as an apprentice nursery nurse when i was 16. I then completed my level 3 NVQ in childcare when the nursery decided to take me on full time. After 3 years gaining amazing experience i decided i wanted a new challenge so i became a childrens holiday rep for thomson holidays. I took charge of the kids club rooms and the crèche rooms during the summer, whilst also doing all the party dances on stage and putting on dance shows at night for all the families. In the winter i went up into the alps in italy and was a whizz kid leader. (In charge of the kids club) and got to spend christmas day in a snow blizzard with 10 children, which weirdly was amazing. Having a niece and three nephews at home who i missed like crazy, i have decided to find a job back home. Im very enthusiastic and love a new challenge. I love to play so don't worry your child/children will be fully entertained and looked after. I have been a nanny for the last 3 years to four amazing little boys, but the youngest two arejust about to start school and i am needing more hours.

I am interested in applying for roles involving providing care for children as I have graduated from university and would like to gain more responsibility and experience and put my knowledge to use. I am passionate about working alongside children and promoting their development and well being through play. I have had the opportunity to take part in various voluntary placements in childcare settings alongside gaining additional experience through jobs I have had within the sector. I am a dedicated individual and will put my all into anything I strive to achieve. I am always ready to learn new and valuable skills, and gain new responsibilities, building on what I already know, in order to try and achieve my full potential in anything I choose to do. I have good listening and communication skills alongside having effective empathy, which I believe to be an important factor within this sector.
