Hi,

With the school holidays just around the corner - do you need a helping hand?

I am currenly home, living in Kingsway, in my summer break from univerity, and have lots of time on my hands (as well as needing to earn some pennies for rent etc when I return to my studies).

I have lots of experience with little ones, as my parents were foster carers, and I helped them while they stayed with us. I also have a baby brother and sister, both under five.

I believe that I have a natural ability with children, love having fun, but know how important routine is.

If you want your kids to be in their own home, and in their own area, rather than in a holiday club, them please contact me, and see if I can help.

I can provide references if required and rates of pay can be discussed on a one to one basis.

I may be at university, but I’m just a big kid at heart.

Please contact 01452 724090.
