My Summary
About Me
About me:
I am a responsible and reliable individual who is caring, calm, and always eager to help. My patience with children allows me to support their learning while ensuring we have fun together. I enjoy engaging in creative activities, such as baking and crafts, and I love spending time outdoors.
I have a driver’s license and can use my partner's car if necessary. I am based in Leith.
Background & availability:
I worked as a pastry chef for 10 years before transitioning to my studies in Nutrition in 2020. I graduated this summer and am currently looking for work in the field of nutrition. In the meantime, I am available for childcare on weekday mornings or on 1 to 3 full days per week. I am flexible with my schedule but need to reserve time for job applications and interview preparations.
Please note that once I secure a nutrition job—unlikely before December—I may no longer be available for childcare. I'd give you as much notice as possible. I understand that parents often prefer long-term arrangements, and I fully respect your need to continue looking for a suitable nanny/childminder. If you find the right person, I will be more than happy to facilitate a smooth transition, even on short notice.
My Experience
Childcare Experience:
I have a diverse background in childcare, starting with my year as an au-pair in London, where I cared for two girls aged 7 and 9, as well as a 6-month-old baby. My responsibilities included cooking for the family and maintaining a tidy household. This experience was incredibly positive, and I can provide a letter of recommendation from the family.
In addition, I have worked as an occasional supply teacher in pre-school and primary classes, managing groups of up to 20 children aged 4 to 12 years old. I also provided one-to-one support in maths and languages, which was an extremely rewarding experience.
For the past four years, I have been assisting a wonderful family with two boys, now aged 12 and 13. My role has included school pick-ups, homework help, and preparing dinner for the family.
More recently, I have been looking after my lovely goddaughter and my nephew, both born in 2022.
Language Skills:
I speak French and English fluently, and have an intermediate level of Spanish and German - I'd be delighted to help your child learn a new language or practice their skills!
My Qualifications
I have experience as an au-pair, nanny, babysitter, private tutor and supply teacher.
