Friendly, experienced and qualified nanny
| A kind, patient and caring nanny searching for my next childcare position with a lovely family! I completed my Early Years PGCE and became a qualified Early Years Teacher in 2020 after having previously held a variety of childcare and teaching roles. I have a nurturing and compassionate approach to childcare and really enjoy building personal relationships with the children and families I work with, and love helping children to learn and understand the world using activities and experiences tailored especially to them. I have experience of working with children and babies under 12 months through to teenagers in a number of roles including as an au pair, a Brownie leader, children's centre support worker, and an early years practitioner. Prior to training as an Early Years Teacher I completed an undergraduate honours degree in Nutrition through which I completed projects on childhood nutrition and development, breastfeeding and weaning, and promoting healthy lifestyles in children and teenagers. Looking forward to hearing from you, please get in touch with any questions or if you are interested in me being your next nanny! Available immediately.

Heather- 20- Student at the University of York- 6 years experience in childcare
| I’m a 20 year old student going into my final year of studies, and I’ve been working in childcare for 6 years now! I have consistent experience with children’s aged 5 months to 13 years old, both through official childcare services and families in my neighbourhood. I come from a big family so I really enjoy looking after siblings or groups of children, making me well versed in busy and chaotic situations! I've found that children respond really well to having someone young looking after them, and I can confidently say I bring energy, fun, and excitement to the role! I am looking to train as an Art Therapist once I graduate and to work mainly with children, so this work is an amazing way for me to get involved with arts and crafts, but also to be really good friends with the children. I think its really important to make sure they’re having a fun time when being looked after by a childminder, but also to ensure they’re being taught how to be respectful, kind and friendly themselves, to make the parenting job just a bit easier! I’m really happy to work both long term jobs and last minute requests, and also to travel to you.

| Having recently graduated from the University of York, I am looking to gain further childcare experience before undertaking my PGCE next September. For the last 3 years, I have been looking after children between the ages of 3-14 in my hometown throughout the holidays. I love interacting with children of all ages and am more than happy to go the extra mile, ensuring every child feels as comfortable and calm as possible. I really enjoy thinking of fun activities to do, whether this is arts and crafts for younger children or engaging in the interests of any older children. In addition to this I am more than willing to undertake various household roles whilst babysitting, whether this is cleaning the dishes, folding laundry or even helping with any homework or reading that needs completing. I am available both weekdays and weekends (day / evening) and love being able to build a relationship with every child I look after.

Caring, Patient and a good sense of humour. This definitely reflects when I babysit for families
| Briefly here is a summary of my experience in childcare: - Summer 2019 I did Camp America and lived with 7-14 year olds 24/7 in a cabin and looked after them whilst giving them space to socialise and enjoy camp. - At 16 years old I volunteered to help with the local girl guiding group, Rainbows (girls aged 5-6) and Brownies (girls aged 7-10). This involved meeting every Monday to do activities and cooking. - I have also got a half brother, 6, who was born when I was 13. I have helped out daily to look after him purely because I enjoy his company.
