My Summary

My Experience

I have four years experience working as a gymnastics coach, leading groups of up to 8 children of varying ages, from preschoolers to early teens. This role taught me essential skills in communication, patience, and adaptability. I learned how to create engaging lessons for children of all abilities, while also managing different energy levels and learning styles. I had to quickly assess each child’s individual needs, provide constructive feedback, and ensure their safety while they developed their skills. This experience enhanced my ability to build trust with children and parents, while fostering a positive, supportive environment for learning.

Alongside my coaching experience, my primary education degree has given me a deep understanding of children’s development, both academically and socially. Through my coursework and school observations, I’ve gained valuable insights into how children grow, learn, and interact at different stages. I’ve learned how to recognise the needs of each child, whether it’s academic support, emotional well-being, or social interaction, and how to tailor my approach to best meet those needs. My degree has strengthened my ability to support children in various settings, ensuring they feel understood, engaged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

My Qualifications

I have a strong academic background and relevant qualifications that support my ability to care for children and work in educational settings. I achieved grades 6-9 in my GCSEs, including a 7 in English and an 8 in Maths. I then went on to achieve A, A, and A* in my A-Levels. I am currently on track to graduate with a first-class honours degree in Primary Education.

In addition to my academic qualifications, I have completed several key training courses that enhance my ability to provide safe and effective care. I am First Aid trained and DBS checked, ensuring that I am prepared for any emergency situation. I also have Level 2 Children's Safeguarding Training and Prevent Duty Training, which has given me a deeper understanding of how to protect and support children in various environments.

I hold a full driving license, offering added flexibility and the ability to travel for babysitting and other opportunities.

My Availability

I am available for babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. Additionally, I am available during half terms and school holidays, offering extra support during those busy times. I can also extend my availability to morning work before school if needed, ensuring I can accommodate various schedules and provide reliable care whenever necessary. Let me know what works best for your family, and I’ll do my best to assist!
