My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Joseph, I'm 31 years old. I live in Flitwick in Bedfordshire!
Currently I am doing personal training and teaching swimming each evening. I am also a semi professional photographer which makes me a bit more occupied in the summer.
I have a laid back, fun & caring personality, especially towards children.
I've played electric & acoustic guitar for over 9 years and really enjoy it.
I have my YouTube channel, I also teach beginners how to play in my spare time.
I have to note that i am not a qualified guitar teacher, just do it for fun.
My main passion is riding, talking and watching motorbikes. I having been riding since i was 16 years old, I have gone touring around Europe a few times on my motorbike while camping with my brother and father. We have visited France, Germany and Italy while travelling.
I also studied art & design in college so I love to draw and do artistic stuff such as fine art, painting, graphics & photography.
I cook everyday which i really enjoy, including my favourite meals like sweet & sour chicken, spaghetti bolognese and easy meals like burger & chips!
I have decided to get involved with 'Childcare.co.uk' to offer my teaching & babysitting skills to everybody in and around Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire and to also get feedback from my customers so i can look to improve my service & skills.
My Experience
I was a senior lifeguard for 3 years which included supervising a swimming pool, cleaning jobs and helping out with the football pitch outside. During this job have plenty of experience dealing with first aid, having dealt with falls, bumps, cuts, heavy bleeding and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
I currently have been working as a part time swimming teacher in varies swimming pools in Hertfordshire & also London borough pools. I have taught children with varies abilities/skills how to swim. This does include children with special needs such as epilepsy, Congenital heart disease, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the average naughty children.
I also teach adults every week as well as children.
I have also worked in a morning nursery which we took care of children before school while their parents went to work. Most of the morning was keeping the children amused and entertained while me and my colleagues made breakfast for them. After breakfast we then walked the children to school and dropped them off at their classes.
I also work in the gym and help people achieve their own fitness goals everyday. This includes writing out personal programmes for individual clients in the gym and in the pool.
I'm currently working towards a personal training qualification.
Please note i only have experience of caring for children of 3 years and older. Unfortunately I have no idea how to take care of a baby, just to make that clear.

Jo is fabulous with our son. He is always punctual and reliable. He has an excellent rapport with our son and our son has fun while learning.
Since our son has started with no he has progressed hugely.
Would definitely recommend him.

Joseph has been teaching my daughters (4 and 5 years old) for about a year now. He is a great teacher, very passionate about what he does, super reliable and he is very good with kids.
My daughters have made incredible progress since he started teaching them.
I can fully recommend him.

Loved working with your children at your home. Thank you for your feedback.
What can i say other than if your looking for a good swimming teacher this would be it, Joseph has a fantastic approach towards teaching children.
He has taught my daughter for over a year now and she always looks forward to her lessons and talks about Joe at home.
Joe has a very laid back, caring and fun personality.
We will continue to be going to Joe's lessons every week, the only bad thing I have to say is the numbers in the lessons due to the leisure centre itself.

My daughter has had swimming lessons with Joe for the past 1.5-2 years. She thoroughly looks forward to her lessons with Joe. He is very easy going and has a fantastic approach to teaching he children. My daughter has made fantastic progress under Joe's guidance. He is by far the best swimming teacher my daughter has had.
Keep up the good work Joe!

Joe teaches 2 of my children (aged 3 & 5) swimming. Prior to starting lessons with Joe, my children lacked confidence in the water and were not making significant progress with their swimming. Joe built up an instant rapport with them and they trusted him from the outset. They now look forward to their swimming lessons and respond well to Joe's teaching, making real improvement.
I would thoroughly recommend Joe as a swimming teacher.

My two daughters were making little progress in their weekly group swimming lessons so we decided to book Joe for 1 to 1 lessons for them both. What a difference! After half a dozen lessons the progress they made was fantastic! They achieved more in that time than they did in the previous 18 months in the group lessons. Joe is a lovely guy, a lot of fun and my daughters listened to every word he said. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him to a friend.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to post a review for Joe. Joe has been teaching my daughter to swim for about 18 months now in stages 6 and 7. No disrespect to her other swimming teachers but Joe’s tuition is head and shoulders over anyone she has had before – and she has had some pretty good teachers! From the start Joe has impressed me with his easy-going attitude and ability to get down to the child’s level to convey his teaching skills. He has a natural affinity with children of all ages and knows how to get the best out of each child he teaches. I have only seen him teach in a group situation but would say that each child is treated as an individual within the group and he gives feedback to each of them depending on their particular need. My own child has always loved swimming but as she entered level 6 she hit a problem with diving. She had never done this before and was uncharacteristically frightened of diving in head-first. Joe was brilliant with her and knelt down beside her giving her guidance and reassurance as she made her first attempts. She trusts him completely and with his help is making significant progress in this area. He is also extremely thorough in his teaching of each stroke, for example, getting my daughter’s breast-stroke timing to a very high standard. This is something, although quite basic, that no other teacher has touched upon and this can be seen, not only in my daughter, but others who join Joe’s class. He will only move a child up to the next level when he is satisfied that they are ready so that they move up with the confidence to know that they have achieved that level and will not struggle at the next. All the children clearly love their time with Joe and leave with smiles on their faces as he is so encouraging and always leaves them on a happy note. That said, I have seen him have to deal with some appalling behaviour in his lessons. Although easy-going Joe handles unacceptable behaviour in a calm, non-confrontational manner ensuring minimal disruption to the dynamics of the class. Having got to know Joe through swimming lessons, I would have no hesitation in using his babysitting services and would trust him implicitly with the care of my daughter. Whilst he does not have children of his own, it is testament to his genuine love of children and their company, that he chooses to look after the children of others and is not simply doing this because he has children of his own and needs a job that fits in with them.

Joe has been teaching my daughter for a couple of years now. She has group lessons and private lessons with him and has flourished under his tuition. For someone that doesn't have children, Joe has a fantastic attitude and understanding of them. He knows how to get the very best out of them and has a kind and caring nature. Joe has a great personality and the children genuinely enjoy learning from him. He is extremely encouraging and supportive and really wants them to succeed. An attitude that some of the other swimming teachers could definitely aspire to.
I would highly recommend Joe as a swimming teacher or babysitter.

My 5 year old daughter has been learning to swim with Joe for the past 9 months. She loves her lessons with him and has grown in confidence and ability. She loves to show me what she has just learned when she gets out of her lesson and it's been great to see how excited she is about her swimming.
Joe has been fantastic with her. He is patient and knows just how to encourage her. She is delighted when she gets one of his 'thumbs up' or high fives.
I can't recommend Joe highly enough. He has a great gift of getting alongside young kids and helping them to learn.
