From 2015-2021, I worked at Saints Gymnastics Clubs, where I took care of up to 10 children from the ages of 4 to 13 years old, teaching them gymnastics and ensuring they felt safe and free to explore whilst having fun! Additionally, I have been babysitting for a family of 4 children casually from the ages of 4 to 16, and have thoroughly enjoyed exploring their interests, and being there to help them learn, relax and have fun! Additionally, I have a full driver's license and have had experience preparing meals, tutoring, and organizing fun physical activities.
Whilst caring for kids, I promise to always give them my undivided attention and it is my goal to ensure they feel secure, safe, and cared for. In the coming week or so, I will have a finalized university timetable but know I will be fully available on weekends, and in the evenings.
Note: Fees are negotiated according to various factors including weekday/weekend, daytime/evening, number of children, age range of children, one-off/regular booking, last minute

What parents love about me
I believe parents love that I am very adaptable in my approach to kids, and can be more/less interactive, depending on the age and the individual child's wants/needs. I feel the parents also trust that I will be organized and prompt, for example, I always arrive on time or a bit early, and also ensure the kids have their meals, go to bed, and have medications at their appropriate times. I also think parents would love that I can balance encouraging kids to explore their interests (such as playing sports) and will join them, but also know when the kids might need to sit back and relax.
What kids love about me
I think the kids I babysit for would say that I am interactive, and often encourage them to participate in activities. Additionally, I think they would say they enjoy my story-telling at night before they go to bed, or they enjoy spending time showing me their interests (e.g. gardening, playing handball, learning about the world, etc.)
What I love about this work
There are honestly many things that make this job so fulfilling to me, including that I feel extremely present during babysitting, as kids also teach me to slow down and appreciate the small things. Also, I love being able to be a role model for young kids, as I understand and value the impact that other babysitters, tutors, teachers, or coaches have had on my childhood, and developing positive mindsets and learning about the world.
