Siham, nanny in Manchester

My name is Siham I am 31 years old and I live in Manchester at the moment. My mother has four sisters and four brothers so I have many uncles, aunts and little cousins. I love children and I am the oldest one so I have been always taking care of my little cousins in summer, preparing their food, helping them with summer homework, playing and doing crafts together or going to the pool. I have been always surrounded children When I finished high school, I decided to study law in Granada. For me, it was one of the most important decisions in my life. Living away from home has taught me to appreciate many things, to be much more responsible than I was before going and to mature as person. I think it was a very good opportunity to learn more about myself and it was for me. I have always been very active and hard working, so I tried to help at home combining my studies with different jobs while I lived away from home, returning to Melilla in summer to look after children. I love working with children because they know how to get the best out of myself and I try to teach them to do their best. It is a very rewarding job. My family, my friends and my boyfriend say that I'm a very motherly, responsible and loving person, furthermore, I love kids. I have experience in caring for children from six months to thirteen years, girls and boys too. In the summer of 2005, I took care of Dina , who was six, and Liriam of thirteen. The experience was great. I used to wake up the children, have breakfast together, help them to get dressed, going to the park because they liked it. Afterwards, I took care of naima, who loved watching how I made plasticine figures to later trying to make them on his own. Naima, was a very responsible girl so I used to help her in her summer homework Sometimes, I dressed up with her and we played making up each other or cooking cookies. On the other hand, I liked experience with Amin. He was a baby of six months and I had to prepare his bottles, fed him, help him to develop the skills that a baby of his age begins to learn, like turns from side to explore around, entertaining him with toys or helping him to sleep. My last experience was as au pair in Ireland I have looked after Three children ( 7, 5, 3), It was great experience, because I could learn English and improve it while I lived with them and helped them. I have references of this family, so you can speak with them too. Besides childcare experience, I also reading books when I have some leisure time, listening to the radio and watching movies, trekking, traveling and learning about other cultures and ways of life, meeting new people, talking and sharing experiences, going out with friends or preparing lunch or dinner with my family
or with my friends too. I like healthy eating, cooking and trying new flavors but, therewith, I love making cakes or chocolate cookies, brownies, cheesecakes and fruit smoothies. I find
very entertaining teaching children how to prepare desserts and funny smoothies. I hope you had fun reading my letter and knowing a bit more about me.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards
Siham
