Poppy - 23yrs

I am a 23 year old creative with a passion for photography, making coffee and houseplants! I really enjoy caring for people and have found caring for children brings me great joy. I have been babysitting and working with children since I was around 14. I was working at a before and after school and holiday care programme (I had been employed there for 4+ years before i moved away from the area) where we had up to 60 primary school-aged children at a time. We often took them on trips in the holidays and outdoors where myself and another staff member were responsible for 10 sometimes more children. I had to organize the children and keep them safe during our trips where we took them on busses, and outdoor time. The ages I have the most experience working with are 6 months old and over, I also have experience working with multiple children together of a variety of ages (large families and out of school care programme). Through my job as a sitter and working as an out of school care staff I have cared for primary school-aged children with disabilities such as autism, ADHD, and food allergies, I feel confident in my ability to provide care for children who have special needs. I have a full, clean drivers license and my own car.
