Veera-lyydia, child care in Newcastle upon tyne

My name is Veera - Lyydia but I prefer to go by Lyydia as I think it's easier to remember.
I am 23 years old, originally from Finland (I speak both Finnish and English fluently - I have lived in the UK for about 12 years) and I am taking a Level 3 childcare and education course at Newcastle college. I also go to a primary school every other week for placement as required for my course. I have a fully approved DBS as well.
I'm friendly and well mannered. I have been told I have a natural gift with children by encouraging more confidence in very shy children by bonding with them in a short period of time.
I can cook and bake, I can play nursery rhymes on the keyboard, I love arts and crafts and cleaning is no problem for me.
I have babysat for close family friends (2 boys aged 7 and 12), for my boyfriends mother (2 girls aged 3 and 6) and have also taken care of my younger siblings in the past.
In my spare time I like to read (favourites are Stephen King, Shakespeare and Charles Dickens), paint, play video games and various board games.
