Rebecca, nanny in Jerrettspass BT35

About me:-

Hiya, my names Rebecca and I'm 20 years old. I love working with children from various ages. I've got a variety of hobbies that range from baking to playing all kinds of games. I'm an enthusiastic person which makes me very welcoming and easy to approach.

When given work I do it to the best of my ability and when it comes to your children I'll ensure that I meet all their needs holistically and that they're having fun whilst doing so.

I'm very punctual so whenever you need me I'll always arrive on time. I'm really organised I've got everything prepared in advance so that I know what I'm doing for the day ahead.

I'm an effective communicator and an active listener I make sure that everyone can understand what I'm saying and I actively listen to what you say, if any of your children don't communicate verbally that's ok I can communicate to them in other forms such as non-verbal communication.

I'm comfortable working independently and I'm able to use my common sense with everything but I can also work as a team with the parents I mean a team player and a good team leader.

I can work under pressure and still be able to ensure the children's happiness. I'm a quick learner and pick up things easily so if you're showing me how to do something etc.

I'll remember exactly how to do, I've got a great memory and I can remember a lot of things that need to be remembered.
