Rachel4082 · 04/03/2010 14:07

Hi there,

My name is Rachel, & i'm a student at SOAS studying Chinese. I've been babysitting on a regular basis for 5 years now, and love looking after children. Among other experience, I was a brownie guide leader for four years, I spent four months nannying in my gap year, I've helped run a toddlers group, taken baby massage classes, ran school holiday playschemes, worked in a childrens sports shop for 4 years, volunteered at a youth group for people with learning disabilities, & ran a drama group for young people.

I'm currently looking for more babysitting/nannying work around central & North London; I live in Kings Cross so have excellent transport links to much of the city. I can also work late nights in and around Wimbledon as I can stay at my family home there.

I charge £7 hour before midnight and £9 an hour after, or a mutually agreed flat rate for regular positions.

I am available to work Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 5.30 til late, Thurs 2pm til late, and anytime on the Weekends. I am also free to work as a full time holiday nanny from March 27th- April 25th, and June-July.

I'm more than happy to prepare meals, teach beginners mandarin Chinese to children, assist at birthday parties & work late or 24 hour nights.

I am CRB checked and can provide contactable references from previous clients & employers.

My phone number is 07815 853644 and my email address is [email protected], please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions

Thank you for reading & look forward to hearing from you!
