Isabella, garde d’enfant à Basingstoke

Hello my name is Isabella and I have just left secondary school with 5 A* in English literature and language, maths, Spanish and sciences and 4 A's. Additionally during my studies I have worked in retail, at catering events, for the family agency and also volunteered occasionally. Ever since I was three I have danced and thoroughly enjoyed exercise and fitness, I continue to dance and am lucky enough to now compete at national level against people my age and older. Although I come from a smaller family (who love pets) we are all very close and spend a lot of time together, especially my brother and I. There is an age gap of five years between us and so I have been involved with his upbringing and care, which has taught me many different skills and ways to communicate with younger children, listening to their needs. This interest in care and younger people caused me to chose childcare volunteering for my Duke of Edinburgh award and have continued to babysit, volunteer at previous schools and at my dance school with children aged 3-13 ever since.
