My Summary
About Me
Hello! I’m Sophie, and I am passionate about providing quality care for children. With over 3 years of experience as a primary school teacher, alongside 7 years of babysitting, nannying, or working in childcare settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge in child development and a patient, nurturing approach to every child I care for. I believe in creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Whether it's helping with homework, planning creative activities, or providing attentive care, I am dedicated to fostering a positive and enriching experience for your child. I am reliable, responsible, and always ready to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!
My Experience
Over the past 7 years, I have gained valuable experience as a babysitter for several families, caring for newborns and children of various ages. I continue to work ad hoc hours for three families, providing reliable and flexible childcare. My main job has been as a Primary School Teacher for over 3 years, where I’ve worked with children in Early Years and Key Stage 1. In addition, I have given private piano lessons to children throughout the years and specialize in music. I am also interested in offering private tutoring, piano lessons, babysitting, and other childcare services. While I am seeking a career change, I am passionate about bringing my experience and skills to a new role in childcare.
