Grace, childcare - IP33 Westley

My name is Grace and I live in Bury St Edmunds. I finished sixth form last year and I spent a few months earlier this year working in Rome as an au pair. I cared for four children, triplet girls age 12 and a 13 year old boy. I helped them with their English and music homework, put them to bed a couple of evenings a week when their parents were out, took them to their after school activities and entertained them in their free time - I took them swimming, drew pictures for them to colour in, played games with them and listened to them read. I have three little cousins age 4, 2 and 8 months that I babysit for at least once a week. Through babysitting and au pairing I have learnt to be extremely patient with children which I think has become my best quality as a childcarer. I am happy to look after children of all ages, preferably for 15-20 hours a week.
