Ellie, nanny in Thurlstone

I am a kind, energetic, enthusiastic, and hard-working young woman. I love working with children and have been running various music and creative work shops in schools and other locations for over 6 years now. I am currently living in Liverpool and working as a freelance musician/artist in children's homes, running school choirs, ukulele clubs and teaching singing and piano. I have also run puppetry workshops at festivals over the summer terms and in schools. Previous to my current work I worked in a school assisting with drama workshops and running set design/puppetry classes. Previous to that I studied music at university and then went on to do a post grad in working with young children and families.

I am moving to Leeds in August and am really excited to try something new. I have done babysitting before for friends and family and feel very comfortable and confident in looking after children. I am looking for any type of childcare work at the moment just to expand my experience and knowledge. Full-time would be preferable but I would be fine to try part time too.

As a babysitter I would always make sure to have activities and games prepared for children as I believe these are an important way to build relationships. I am very creative and love doing art and crafts, cooking, playing music and know a lot of games from working in schools.
