I am looking for a part time or one off jobs in childcare in the Cambridge area (I live in Ely).
I have just returned from Rome where I have worked since January as an au pair for a family of 4, with a 9 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. I have been an au pair twice before, with another family in Rome and a family in Paris.
I've been babysitting for 4 years for different families, ages ranging from 6 months to 14 years old. For one of these families, I was with the children from around mid-morning to late evening, so I am able find activities for the children to keep them happy all day.
Before this, I volunteered for 3 years with a local Brownie guide group where I planned activities and kept the children busy.
My qualities include being patient and kind, which I believe are very important when it comes to caring for children! Also, I know when it is necessary to be stern, so if there is a bedtime or a schedule, it will be upheld. I passed 10 GCSEs and have 3 A levels in French, Psychology, and Sociology from Hills Road Sixth Form College, so would be happy to help with any homework the children may have. I can cook meals, so would be happy to help out in the kitchen.
I have previous experience with many families, one of whom I babysat for regularly. Their 3 children were 14, 11, and 9 when I met them 2 years ago (a boy and two girls, respectively). We often went to the park to play cricket, or the girls play on the equipment whilst I kept watch ( and joined in!). We also went swimming at the local pool, or took walks through town before going to a field to play sports or tag games.
Feel free to ask me any questions about myself, and whether I would be a good match for your family.

Nadine can provide references from recent employers
Nadine looks after our 3 children ( 14, 11, 10) on a regular basis during the day and evenings when we are at work. The children really look forward to Nadine looking after them and she is always punctual and reliable. Nadine's best quality is her patience and that she will organise activities the children like doing.
These could change depending on number of children, how far I must travel, or the minimum number of hours (I would not like to drive 20 miles and only work 2 hours!)
