Reliable DBS‑Checked Babysitter with SEND Experience

I’m an 18‑year‑old with a strong interest in education and child development, and I hope to become a primary school teacher in the future. I am patient, calm and reliable, and I enjoy creating positive, supportive environments for children of different ages and abilities. I take safeguarding seriously and always aim to help children feel safe, listened to and confident. I currently hold an enhanced DBS check and I’m building further hands‑on experience as I prepare for a career working with young people. I have experience supporting children across both primary and lower secondary ages in a wide range of settings. My school‑based experience includes a full week of classroom support during my Year 12 work experience, working across Reception to Year 5 and assisting with reading, phonics, small‑group activities and classroom routines. I have also supported children through Stomping Grounds Forest School, helping to deliver inclusive outdoor sessions for children with varying needs. Beyond school, I have worked with young people through community and youth roles, including helping run children’s activities at Beamish Museum and volunteering in children’s liturgy. This summer, I will be volunteering on a kids’ summer camp with the St Vincent de Paul Society, supporting activities, supervision and pastoral care. I also have experience supporting children with additional needs, including autistic children and children who benefit from calm routines, clear communication and patient guidance. I always aim to create a safe, predictable environment where children feel understood and confident. As I have recently completed my A‑levels, I am fully available over the summer and happy to discuss part‑time or regular care. My goal is to provide safe, reliable and high‑quality care that works well for your family. If you think I might be a good fit, please feel free to message me - I’m always happy to chat and answer any questions.
