What parents love about me
Children's wellbeing is at the heart of everything I do, I always ensure the children I care for are both happy and healthy and believe this is the most important job when caring for children. I am also a very empathetic person and admire parents for all the work they do when raising children alongside busy work and social lives, therefore I try to help parents in whatever way I can, be that tidying up after the children, cooking meals, or anything else that I see needs doing. I am respectful of people’s homes and boundaries and always ensure that I am on time for work.
What kids love about me
I love spending time outdoors and am therefore always happy to take kids out to the park, the beach, or for a nice walk. I also love engaging in imaginative play, crafts, baking and both encourage and support children’s independence/autonomy from an early age.
What I love about this work
Children never fail to make me laugh with the funny things they come out with!
