Josie, sitter in Edinburgh

Hi there, my name is Josie and I’m a nineteen-year-old undergraduate student at the University of Edinburgh in my second year, studying History. I am looking for part-time childcare or babysitting work.

I am the oldest of three, with a younger brother aged nine and a younger sister aged thirteen, so I have plenty of experience with children! I have experience babysitting for my siblings as well as my younger cousins. I have also volunteered at an after school club with children from ages 4-12 on a 12 week placement, whilst my previous employment was in the Childrenswear section of a department store.

My hobbies include playing piano, art, and keeping fit through running and cycling, and I am happy to engage in some of these activities with the children. I am also TEFL qualified, meaning I am able to teach English as a foreign language to children around the world! As part of the training, we had to create games and activities for the students, therefore I am able to use my imagination to come up with educational ideas.
