Costanza, home childcare - EX2 Exeter

Hi, I'm Costanza, I'm 22 and I come from Venice in Italy. I've recently moved over to Exeter to experience the English way of life with my English boyfriend. We both currently rent a flat together with another house mate near to junction 30. I have recently got a degree in Industrial Design with my dissertation project being "Woody", a toy which i designed and made for children.

I have a big family with 2 brothers and 8 cousins ranging from 2 years old to 18 years old. I enjoy cooking in a family environment, especially italian dishes, and i also really enjoy photography particularly of landscapes.

Im a enthusiastic and passionate person who loves to make other people happy especially kids by making sure their having fun in everything they do.

Im currently looking for a position as an au pair or private nanny in the exeter area. Im free throughout the week for any opportunities that may be out there. I would be willing to work on some weekends as well.

Being the oldest in the family I've voluntary taken the responsibility of babysitting for my family frequently over the past 7 years. This experience has included looking after my baby cousins and also looking after big groups of them on days out at the park but more often at the beach. I'll cook and prepare foods on these days and also deal with the small selfless jobs that come with looking after children.

As said previously I designed and manufactured a child's toy for my university dissertation, the research that went into this helped me understand the child psychology and also the growth of different ages of children.

Although my experiences are mostly family related, I am passionate about children and i love to spend time to play and educate them. I would love to work with children as a career.

I am available immediately to work. I would prefer to work during the week during the day time however i would not mind working the occasional weekend through the day or of an evening.

I do not have any direct child care qualification but would be willing to work towards them for the right family. However my degree in Industrial Design shows that i can commit to anything I put my mind too.
