Amanda, babysitting in Pontefract WF8

Hello! I am a reliable, friendly, patient and open- minded individual who is passionate about children.
I have previous experience with children as I was babysitter of 2 children (6 and 8 years old) for around two years. I was responsible to take them and pick them up to/from school, to prepare them lunch and snacks, and to play different activities with them such as singing, dancing, crafts, and when the weather allowed, we would go to the playground. I also helped them with their homework whenever they needed.
When my Mother was a childminder, I used to assist her by interacting with the toddlers , by feeding them and occasionally changing their nappies.
I am currently studying BSc Psychology in Education at the University of York, and during my time at the university I had the opportunity to complete several work placements, including in after school clubs and in primary schools (KS2 and KS3), where I assisted the teachers and helped the children with different activities during the day.

Enthusiasm, creativity, responsibility and resilience are essential skills to have when working with children. I believe I gained and developed them during my time working with children and young people from different age groups.
