My Summary

My Experience

July 2018 - July 2020

A sole charge role caring for three children aged four, seven and ten at the start of the position. The role is primarily focused but not limited to ensuring that each family member’s schedule is managed efficiently whether this be related to school, extra curricular activities or personal healthcare appointments. Daily supervision and guidance for homework is a crucial part of this role including preparation for the eldest child’s 11+ entry exams last summer, for which liaising efficiently with tutors and teachers was paramount to his success. Duties also include cooking nutritious meals for the whole family as well as ensuring their now two year old dog gets a substantial amount of exercise during the day. This role demands complete precision and meticulous attention to detail which I have very much enjoyed and I am now looking to start a new role working with younger children.
