Phoebe, senior home help in London Borough of Croydon

Phoebe's extras

I am a 21-year-old student studying French at university. I’ll be moving into my third year come September. I cannot drive; I travel everywhere by foot or public transport. I do not smoke or drink.

I’ve previously worked as an au-pair in Germany. I was responsible for the care of three lovely girls, ages 5 to 13, as well as a share of the housework, over a period of six months. As a consequence, I speak and understand a good level of German.

Before that I worked as a cleaner. Out of a team of three, I alone was entrusted with the keys, and was responsible for the early-morning opening of the premises.

I know how to work all basic household appliances, and learn quickly with confronted with new challenges.

I believe that nutrition is very important, and enjoy cooking healthy meals. I myself follow a gluten-, dairy- and (so far as possible) sugar-free diet, high in vegetables, due to a rapidly improving thyroid issue. I would not seek to impose that diet on anybody.

I believe in kindness, maturity and mutual respect.
