Karimah, occasional childcare in Smethwick B66

My names Karimah and I live in England, Birmingham. My interests and hobbies include volunteering, camping, creative arts, rock climbing and archery. I'm on the pathway to a career as a Doctor in Paediatrics.

I'm a versatile student proficient in managing childcare needs for busy families. Eager to step in and take on additional household tasks. Trustworthy Babysitter with experience looking after children of varying ages. Kind and compassionate to provide nurturing, safe care. Provides after school, evening and weekend support to meet changing family needs.

Im committed to developing educational, emotional and social skills with learning through play. I am well experienced in navigating high-stress situations and achieving goals on time. Im also first aid trained and respond calmly and efficiently to manage crisis and emergency situations. These are skills i have aqquired from volunteering with an organisation that runs holiday clubs for SEND kids where i also have attended play training, safeguarding training and have an enhanced DBS check.

I'm very passionate about helping to ensure that people with disabilities are treated and have access to the same opportunities as people without disabilities as far as is feasible of course. I'm also a big believer of the idea of “paying it forward”: passing onto other people what you received yourself and I want to make a difference to someone else that I wished someone had to me when I was younger. I want the children to be treated like normal people by at least one person if possible. Most of the people I meet the minute they hear special needs or learning/health disability they think they need to treat them like a child or even less than that or worse thereshey label the child with red tape and are unwarrantedly cautious making the child feel excluded alone and like they're a burden. I'm a big believer no child should be made to feel like that. When I worked with any person at all I gave them the respect they deserved.
