Amanda , experienced babysitter and carer

| I am an experienced paediatric nurse and qualified to care for kids. I have a diverse skill set, this includes managing children with special needs. I am looking for positions for any child minding/nanny duties even if that is just babysitting. I am up to date with all areas of first aid. I educate myself and keep updated on changing facets of child development . I work fast in an emergency. I know how to administer CPR and administer Epipens. I keep parents and carers always updated . I never do anything outside my role

We had Amanda look after our 10 month old son and she was absolutely phenomenal. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Excellent communication and gave us updates throughout the night. She was kind, warm and lovely natured and our son gravitated towards her immediately. We have never felt so comfortable having someone, apart from our parents, look after our child. "

I’m kind, empathetic and structured. But more importantly I love to make people smile.

| I am a mum of three with one child with Epilepsy, this is scary but I have learnt so much. I am also a nanny to various families, some with spectrum disorder. I feel that all these experiences are so rewarding as I pride myself in being a naturally empathetic and supportive person. I genuinely love to help, I have been unwell myself due to a kidney condition so I know just how daunting it can be to be unwell and need to trust someone while feeling incredibly vulnerable. I would love the opportunity to chat further to see if I can help you out.
