Hello, my name is Sophie Birkinshaw and I am 17 currently, I will be 18 on April 14th 2017, I know it may sound very young but I assure you I have been told by many people that I'm great with children and that I would make a great mum one day. I have done my NVQ diploma in childcare L3 and Hairdressing entry level 3 before that, but I am currently working on my hairdressing as I am now a Level 2 hairdresser. My course is only 3 days a week so I have plenty of spare time. During this time I sometimes pick up my 3 year old nephew from school and take him to the park or just watch cartoons. I've always loved children since I was young, I'd always make friends with babies and toddlers, helping them climb things and such. I'd love a job along with my college course just to keep up with childcare since I still visit the childminder I worked with and she said she would be happy to speak or wrote to anyone who wants to know what I'm like. I do have a long-term partner, we have been together almost 2 years and he has a full time job, so I was hoping that maybe in a few years after I've had a long term job we could move in together as I still live at home with my parents.
I had pretty good grades in school with a GCSE at C grade in both maths and English so I would be happy to help with homework tasks or anything around the house. As a carer ny qualities are imagination, creativity and knowledge. While working wit h the childminder, I had made a story sack about pirates with board games, puppets and activities for the older and younger children to do based at different levels so no one struggled, I also helped one of the children to build a lifelike Egyptian villiage on Minecraft, the childminder later told me she had never seen anyone click that easily with this child as he was usually very kept to himself.

I did childcare L3 in college and had did some voluntary work in nurseries, schools but mainly with a childminder, I loved it but as I am still fairly young I am keeping it cheap and cheerful!
