Hy! I’m Joseph and have just moved to Cologne from London and I\u2019m excited to find my next adventure supporting families and children here \ud83c\udf08<\/p>\n
I bring over 10 years of experience in education and childcare, with a calm, confident, and genuinely fun approach that children respond to instantly.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m often described as having a \u201cfun big brother\u201d vibe \u2014 playful, engaging, and adventurous \u2014 while still being excellent at behaviour management, boundaries, and routines. Children feel safe, seen, and supported with me, and parents feel reassured.<\/p>\n
Childcare & Family Support:
\n– Babysitting, childcare & after-school care
\n– School & activity pick-ups (punctual and reliable)
\n– Homework supervision and structured study time<\/p>\n
Supporting and maintaining established routines for stability:
\n– Fun days out, local excursions, parks, museums, and creative activities
\n– A \u201cone of the family\u201d approach \u2014 warm, respectful, and invested<\/p>\n
Learning, Homework & Tutoring:
\n– Confident supporting homework across all subjects
\n– Language support (especially for English-speaking or bilingual families)
\n– Patient, encouraging, and great at building confidence in learners
\n– Strong understanding of how children learn \u2014 academically and emotionally<\/p>\n
Creative & Musical Skills:
\n– Skilled with musical instruments
\n– Have a lot of experience in Drama and Dance also
\n– Can offer music practice support or informal lessons
\n– Creative outlets through music, play, storytelling, and imaginative learning<\/p>\n
Technology & Modern Learning:
\n– Exceptional with technology \u2014 I\u2019ve worked at Microsoft during my corporate career outside of Education
\n– Great at using tech positively for learning (not passive screen time)
\n– Can support digital homework, educational apps, and safe tech use<\/p>\n
Personal Style & Values:
\n– Adventurous, outgoing, and energetic
\n– Calm, emotionally intelligent, and very child-centred
\n– Strong focus on consistency, trust, and emotional safety<\/p>\n
Happy to plan ahead and, with notice, can also accommodate care at my place occasionally<\/p>\n
Above all, I aim to be someone children look up to and forward to seeing, someone parents trust implicitly \u2014 dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in their children\u2019s wellbeing and growth.<\/p>\n
I hope that you will consider me and take care, <\/p>\n
