About Me

I am a highly sociable and friendly babysitter and tutor, and SEND carer. I have many different interests and have a varied skillset. I'm a strong believer in having fun with the children in my care, but also understand the importance of safety, professionalism around children, and healthy behavioural boundaries. I have experience with SEN children, but no formal qualifications in this area.

I am looking to help families out on a casual, or more permanent basis. Work as a babysitter or tutor, or a mix of both would be ideal. Also able to offer household help. I am currently working towards getting my full driving license in Herefordshire as my lessons were disrupted by the pandemic then had no need to drive when I was working as a residential assistant and was studying at university in Bristol.

I am a competent cook, I am well educated, and children (generally) like me. I have just graduated from the University of Bristol with a first-class BA in English. I have A-Levels in English Literature, Spanish and Art. I have a wide-range of hobbies and interests and am able to cater to the needs of the family.

My Experience

In 2020, I worked full-time at a top girls' boarding school on a one-year contract. Due to the effects of the pandemic, I have had experience with children from Year 1- Year 8 (age 5-13). I have worked as a teaching assistant during critical worker school with girls in Year 1 and 2. Mainly, was based in a Year 6 & 7 boarding house- living in the house with the girls. This role covers many duties including laundry, food preparation, supervising prep, organising the girls, admin and many more daily activities. In this time, I have been left in charge of up to 20 girls with another member of staff at one time, showing that I am highly competent for my age.

In the summers of 2022 and 2023, I worked at a summer camp as a counsellor, then eventually managed, at an English Language camp for international students (7-17). I organised and led trips, did risk assessments and did overnight duties in the boarding houses as the senior member or staff for up to 30 girls aged 7-18. In the day, my main job was doing activities with the children and supervising their trips, 'facilitating fun'.

Highly proficient in Safeguarding and have an Enhanced Portable DBS.
