My Summary

My Experience

I have had experience within a range of childcare settings including a day nursery, a primary school and a pre school where I was previously employed. I have also looked after babies and children in their own homes.
When looking after children any activities and learning experiences are planned around the child's interests, age and stage of development.

I have knowledge and experience of the EYFS ( Early Years Foundation Stage) and use this to asses children's learning and development.

I have experience of supporting children with their personal care such as toileting, potty training, changing nappies etc.

I like to go out and about with children and prefer to fill the day with lots of fun outings and groups instead of being in the confinement of the home. Some examples of places we go are: playgroups, stay and play sessions, tots time singing at the library, jiggle and wiggle dance and singing for 0-5.
Other trips we have been on so far are, wheel gate park, white post farm, planet tots at planet bounce, a few different soft play areas and local parks.

My Availability

I am looking for a September onwards start with a new family.
Unfortunately cannot take on anymore evening babysitting as I have a lot of families I am babysitting for at the moment and do not have the availability.
I am preferably looking for a family requiring daytime childcare with babies/toddlers, I do not mind doing school runs for additional children and school holiday care. I'm not looking for a before and after school position/job as it is difficult for me to find work between specific school hours.

My Fees

• Nannying from £10.00 per hour (gross)
• Babysitting from £5.00 per hour

I am reasonable and I am willing to negotiate daytime rates to suit parents/families as I know and understand childcare can be expensive and difficult to afford at times.
