**About CocoRio**

**CocoRio is a Creative Child Care agency employing freelance creative professionals with experience in working with children to provide a smarter child care service combining creative education with child care. Many of our sitters are also multilingual and can teach the different languages they speak through creative play. We cater to children aged 0-15 years old as well as children with SEND.**

**About the Role**

**Our creative sitters are responsible for all child care duties as well as creative/language activities for the children they care for. The child care side of the job can include mealtimes, keeping up the daily routines of the child, helping with homework, school runs and most importantly keeping children safe at all times. The activity side includes delivering creative and/or language learning activities previously planned according to the child’s age and abilities, including adapting to the child’s response, making sure to fulfil the family’s requests that have been previously agreed.**

**Our sitters hold zero hour freelance contracts with the CocoRio agency. Most of our roles are ad hoc, encouraging flexible hours that work around your availability. We also have some roles requiring regular commitment if this is of interest but all part-time (max 15h week)**

**Our hourly rate for sitters is £10 - £20 per hour, depending on the nature of the job - most jobs will be £15 per hour. Our sitters must be willing to register as Self Employed and will be responsible for paying their own taxes.**

**CocoRio doesn’t pay any travel expenses. We will try to match you with families local to you but depending on where you live, this may not be possible and you may need to travel to families who are up to 1 hour away. Most families are in South West and North London.**

- **Sustainable - Creativity doesn’t need expensive tools. We encourage our sitters to explore the recycling bin, the pantry and the park before thinking about purchasing new materials. We LOVE upcycling We also enjoy following the change of seasons by engaging with natural elements - from flowers to sand to snow**:

- **Diverse - Our sitters come from all over the world and have different creative expertises, child care experience, backgrounds and speak different languages.
