Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I am an outgoing and friendly person with a curious mind. I am known for asking lots of questions because I love to learn. Even when there is nothing to do, I can make anything fun or create a game or activity. My family are loud and loving and we enjoy spending time together. Others would describe me as funny, a hard worker and a soft heart. I like keeping fit and being active, I particularly like going on runs. I also like fashion and jewellery and love looking up different outfits even if I don't buy them. I have extensive experience in babysitting and have only recently returned from France where I worked as an au pair for two little boys. My duties included picking them up from school, helping with homework, preparing dinner and getting them ready for bed.
