I am a loving and fun person to be around. I love children and will be doing an early years placement in college, but I haven't got a start date for that yet. I'm a very supportive person and will always be there for anyone who needs help. I would care for them by playing with them, ensuring that they are okay and happy. I would also tuck them into bed if needed, feed them, provide toys, and cuddle them when necessary.

My name is Alex, and I am a vibrant 21-year-old woman. I currently hold a renowned level 2 NVQ in Early Years Childcare, a qualification that denotes my abilities and skills in providing young children with a nurturing and educational environment. As for my work experience, you'll find that I'm no stranger to working with children. I make a living working in a bustling and sizeable nursery. Our day-to-day routine involves engaging with and caring for children whose ages range from a young three months to the more mature age of five years. It's my responsibility and pleasure to ensure they are safe, enjoyed, and learning. However, after considering my future and the direction I'd like my career to take, I've decided that I would like to transition to a more intimate childcare setting. It's with this in mind that I express my keen interest in a nannying job. My ideal location for this line of work would be in the Netley area or its nearby environments. This preference, I'm afraid, is due to limitations in my mobility as I currently don't drive. I take pride in the extensive hands-on experience I've accumulated in my field. From the tender age of 16, possibly 17, I've been professionally engaged in childcare. That would amount to over four years of familiarity, dexterity, and practical knowledge. When it comes to official credentials, I have valid DBS and first aid certifications. I'm more than equipped to handle any emergencies that may occur while I'm caring for your little ones. Moreover, outside my full-time job which requires me to work over 40 hours a week, I extend my passion for children into the community. I volunteer with my local scout group and have the responsibility and joy of being a squirrel leader, providing scouting activities for children aged 4 to 6 years. Currently, my working hours are from the early morning at 7 to the late afternoon at 6, but I'm open to discussion and adjustments. I'm more than happy to take on the additional but equally important tasks of basic housework related to the children. Whether it's cooking nourishing dinners, ensuring they are clean and cosy from their baths, fostering their imagination with story readings, providing them with their bottles, or making sure they stick to your preferred sleep schedule, I'm up for the task. I understand the value and impact of these duties in a child’s life. Furthermore, I'm comfortable with working around any SEND children or pets you have in your household. Should you require any more detailed information about me, my experience or my credentials, please feel free to contact me. I'm more than happy to provide additional details. I eagerly look forward to the chance to hear from you and hopefully make a positive impact on your children's lives and in your household. My name is Alex, I am a 21-year-old female. I currently hold a Level 2 NVQ in early years and work in a large nursery with children aged 3 months to 5 years. I am looking to downsize to a nannying job ideally in the Netley area or nearby due to not being a driver. I have been working in childcare since I was 16/17, so I have over 4 years of experience. I hold a valid DBS and first aid certificate. In addition to working over 40 hours a week, I volunteer with my local scout group and am a squirrel leader, providing scouting for children aged 4-6 years. My current hours of work are 7 am to 6 pm. I am happy to take on basic housework for the children, cook dinner, bathe them, read stories, give bottles, and follow your preferred sleep schedule, as I know how much of a difference it makes. I am also happy to work with any children with special educational needs or pets. If you would like any more information about me, please feel free to send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you.

I’m Anisha, a 25-year-old Cancer Biology (MSc) Graduate. I have completed GCSEs, A levels, a BSc (Hons) University degree in Biomedical Science, and a Master’s in Cancer Molecular and Cellular Biology. I am excited about the opportunity to provide safe, reliable, and fun childcare for your family. I have a strong background in caring for children of various ages, whether through babysitting for family and friends or assisting in childcare settings. Coming from a warm and supportive family has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and creating a positive environment for children to thrive. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring new settings with friends, and arts and crafts. I love incorporating these interests into my babysitting to keep kids engaged and entertained. I like to tailor and design innovative activities for various age ranges that are both educational and engaging, as well as fun for the children. I pride myself on being caring, dependable, and attentive, ensuring both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care. I am passionate about creating meaningful connections with the families I work with and providing the best possible experience for the children. I have had lots of experience with children, including my own siblings. As well as caring for my own siblings and family relatives, I have also previously worked in a primary school for 6 months as an assistant teacher. I had gained a huge part of my experience from this placement, as it taught me different aspects about teaching, caring and understanding children. I have done babysitting for a few years, mainly when I had finished university or in between looking for jobs. I have cared for children from as little as 4 months.

I'm an easy-going girl who is curious about my surroundings. I love little things, am creative, and adore all forms of art, especially cinema and music. I play the piano and cello. I am an empathetic person and enjoy taking care of others, especially children. I believe it is crucial to allow them the freedom to explore the world around them so they can build confidence in themselves and their abilities. I have 3 years of experience as a nanny for a child since he was 1 until a few months ago; he is almost 4 now. I worked at a nursery for 6 months during my bachelor's degree and have also worked as an au pair for two older girls (8 and 10).

I'm Liv from Fareham. I'm a 16 year old who recently left secondary school and now go to college with a year of babysitting experience. I've handled children of various age groups including newborns, toddlers (1-2 years), and school-age kids (6-9 years) and I am comfortable looking after three children at the max. Though I am keen to look after your little ones, part-time, I also realise that child care involves much more. I am more than willing to help with homework, adhere to special dietary rules, provide light housekeeping, and even take care of your pets. I believe doing family laundry, keeping the kitchen tidy, cooking and preparing meals for kids, and running errands are duties equally important to create a harmonious family environment. I am available on Monday and Wednesday evenings, Friday midday, and Tuesday mornings. However, I am flexible and open to adjusting my availability to suit your family's needs. Please feel free to discuss them with me. Unfortunately, I must mention that I am unavailable for work involving care for children with disabilities. Looking forward to starting this journey with your family immediately. Being saving up for my future goals such as a course I want to take and my first car, childcare is not just a job but a responsibility that I am quite passionate about. Let's ensure the best care and environment for your children, together. Have a baby brother who is 1 years old I babysit for and also babysit for a few people sometimes who are age 6

I am 19 years old, but don’t let that put you off as I have a lot of experience and training. I work with a child- first approach, so whatever is best for your kid- I will do! I am based in SO40, but I drive and have access to my own car- so I am willing to travel a bit:)
