I've been living in London for the past year working as a nanny and babysitter. It has been a wonderful experience. I'm currently living in Edinburgh and I'd like to stay for a while in beautiful Scotland.

During the past year I lived with a family settle in North London where I took care of twins whist they were aged between 9 and 22 months old with the following responsibilities:

-Supervising and providing sole care for babies and toddlers (2 at a time) for 9 hours a day(sometimes more if the parents were late home)
- Planning and preparing meals, formula milk feeds
- Changing nappies on very wriggly children
- Bathing, dressing and putting them to sleep, keeping a predefined routine
- Planning a weekly schedule of activities in the local area
- Engaging the twins in exciting and interesting learning and playful activities
- Tidying up twin's bedroom and play areas

Meanwhile, I was a regular babysitter for several families with children aged between 1 till 8 years old, with the following responsibilities:

- Picking up the children from additional school activities
- Providing healthy snacks and meals
- Organizing age related activities and games
- Teaching languages
- Bathing the children and putting them to bed

I'd love to be given the opportunity to talk with you in an interview so that l can show you my knowledge, potential, abilities and my desire to become your nanny.
