Ellise, baby sitter in Newport TF10

Hi, My name is Ellise and I have plenty of childcare experience! I turned an auntie at the young age of 12 and have helped out with all my nieces and nephews on a regular basis ever since. I am also one of the older cousins therefore have 5 younger cousins who I have taken care of and played with. I have been round children all my life and have watched from a very young age how to care, look and play with them. Not only have I had loads of experience within the family I have also worked as an au pair for two families with children aged 0-5 years which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The first family I worked for in Hereford were lovely. Isabelle (3 years) was very strong willed; she knew exactly what she wanted! She was very happy and fun and loved typical girly things such as princesses! I enjoyed our days out together where I would take her to swimming and gymnastics then to the park afterwards. Her brother Lewis (5 years) was such a kind and caring young boy who was into typical boy things! We played lots of football, basketball and rode bikes together. Moving to Hereford was a very big opportunity for me; I learnt from my experience there the importance to work together with the parents to understand their needs and wants alongside the needs of their children. It made me more independent and my confidence flourished. I then worked for the Khalaf family in Ironbridge and I have enjoyed living here more than I could have ever imagined! Jordana (the mum) is great fun and has made me feel right at home. Phoenix (2 years) is a little monkey, he makes me laugh and brings joy to my life daily. He is more quiet and serious whereas Balthazar (4 months) is constantly chattering away and will laugh at anything, his little smile could light up a thousand rooms! He is adorable, they both are and I care about them both very deeply. I have loved watching them grow in the little time I have known them and seeing their development.

I have been accepted and have found the most perfect host family to work with in America starting in October but in the meantime I am jobless and would love the opportunity to babysit or help out any other families.
