Amie, nanny in Morriston

Hi, my name is Amie Jane. I'm 22 and living in Swansea.

I'm currently working at the range (a large department store) and although it pays the bills, it isn't what I would like to do in the long term. I'm looking to make the change to childcare.

I have 3 nephews and 2 nieces that I look after regularly (aged 7, 6, 4, 3 and 2) and have done since the eldest was born. So I have experience and am comfortable looking after children of all ages.
I don't drive (although I am learning) so activities are slightly limited when I have all five, to places we can easily reach on foot, like the local park. At home, I get them involved in activities like drawing, or on more adventurous days, baking (which is a ridiculously messy task with 5 children), but they have tons of fun. I help the older 2 with any homework they have and sit to read with them. Their bedtime routine always ends with milkshake and a snack before a story and lights out.
When it comes to discipline, I use the naughty step routine and firmly believe that once they have finished their time out and said sorry, the incident is forgotten. I also make sure good behaviour is rewarded.
I also occasionally babysit a friend's 2 children and a family friend's grandson.
I hope to look into courses I could take to develop my skills in childcare, to help make this a long term career for myself.

I don't have a driving license but am more than willing to do the school run, either on foot, by bus or taxi where necessary. I am a non smoker and am comfortable with any pets. I am also willing to take on general household chores.

Sorry if my presentation section is a bit long, I thought more information would be better. If I missed anything, or you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
