Hello!
My name is Fiona and I am a 23 year old medical student at the University of Glasgow. I would describe myself as friendly, happy and reliable and have always loved interacting with children. I hope to go into the specialty of paediatrics when I qualify as a doctor - I have just begun my 4th year at medical school.
I have had an abundance of experience in child care / babysitting since I was a teenager. This was mainly within my family and family friends but also with neighbours. The ages of the children I have cared for have ranged from just 6 months to around 12 years old. I have a Godson who is 4 years old, I frequently take care of him for hours at a time in order to give his parents a well deserved break whether in the evenings or during the days at the weekend.
There is a relatively large age gap between me and my younger sister and over the years I have helped her (and others) out with homework and school projects. I would be happy to do the same for any child in my care wherever I felt I could.
Within some of my voluntary work I would go to visit a young boy who has a hard time engaging in social interaction due to his autism. Once over the hurdle of initiating play and gaining his attention he would come to life. I would help out with his current subject of fascination, build structures out of lego etc and play outdoors with him in a make-believe type scenario.
In the past many have commented on my patience, especially when it comes to children. I am happy to entertain with board games, make-believe or just sitting to watch a film or do some colouring in - whatever your child prefers to do. I will admit however, I am terrible when it comes to using PS2/3 and the Xbox its something I didn't have while growing up but I'd be willing to give it a go.
Since coming to university and living a life of independency my passion for food and cooking has grown. I would be happy to cook for your child(ren) and even engage them in some baking if they would find it entertaining.
Alternatively I know some children would prefer to be left to their own devices, in which case I am more than happy to just sit and read a book or do some of my own studying.
As a medical student I have some basic training in first aid and have undertaken course in both first aid alongside both basic and advanced life support.
I hope this wasn't too long-winded and bored you to tears but if you're looking for a calm and adaptable child minder then please don't hesitate in contacting me. I look forward to meeting both you and your child(ren) in the near future.

When you're going out for the day or evening the last thing you want to be worrying about is the cost of your childcare. All I ask is that if you wish for me to babysit for over 8 hours you may consider paying a rate of £6.50 an hour as this is the basic minimum wage for over 21 year olds.
