Olivia Frances, sitter - CT1 Canterbury

I'm a 19 year Film student currently studying and living in Canterbury. I previously lived in Bracknell, Berkshire. Where I worked as a receptionist of an Ice Rink, booking and hosting child birthday parties and child ice skating lessons. I also volunteered for over 2 years as a Girl Guides Young Leader, after being a member since I was 11. I also did volunteer work with the Cub Scout group. I have a huge passion for cooking and special effects makeup.

I have a lot of previous experience of working and looking after children, I have two years of volunteer work as a Girl Guide leader. Where I would have to plan and organise activity's for the girls and ensure that everyone was fair and treating each other correctly. I also have experience of volunteering on weekend camps with the Scouts, working as a Cubs leader.

As well as my volunteer work, I have experience working in a nannie day care. Looking after much younger children, feeding, changing and playing with them. I also babysat for my younger brothers as well as neighbours and friends children, for the past four years.

As a child carer I am a very upbeat and happy person who can help with last minuet babysitting or pre-planned nannie service. I am also very organised and always stick to the guide lines set by parents such as bed times and snacks, as I know changes can effect a child's routine. I have a range games that I use to help the older children who don't want to go to sleep, such as sibling competitive games to tier them out. These include, amount of jumping jacks, or who can stay quietest the longest.
