Nicola, home childcare - TS24 Hartlepool

My name is Nicki Élise and I'm 23 years old from Hartlepool. I am a very honest, kind, loving, caring and warm person who has a true heart for children of all ages.

I have had a lot of experience taking care of my Goddaughter from birth to her current age of 17 months. I have also cared for my younger cousin from birth to her current age of 10 years. I also have three more God children whom I regurarly have cared for (both boys and girls between birth and 6 years old). As you can see, I have a lot of friends and family who see me as a good role model for their children and have entrusted me with the great responsibility of being a Godmother to their children throughout their life.

I work for my church on Sunday's in the 'Kids Church' and crèche department where we take care of children from the ages of 8 months to 12 years of age. Here, I do a lot of arts and crafts with the children, play games, and teach them but in a fun way. I also ran a youth group for 3 years where I worked with kids/teenagers from the ages of 11-18. For my work experience at secondary school, I worked in Clavering Primary School with the reception class.

A brief study history about me: have studied at Hartlepool Sixth Form College, then went onto study Visual Communications in Orange County, California (2010-2011). I have also studied Fashion Communication and Promotion at Nottingham Trent University (2011-2012). I little personal information about me - I am engaged to be married and have strong family values. I come from a very loving home and have one younger brother (21) and one younger sister (17).

I am looking for work (preferably full time), and to work on weekdays. I own my own car which is very safe and reliable and am able to complete school runs, sick days, make food after school, play games, complete fun arts and crafts projects (if they are interested in this, obviously), go to the park, and just be there for the child in however much capacity you as the parent/carer wishes me to be. I have a listening ear, and would want your child/ren to enjoy the time that they have with me - and I'd aim to achieve that.
