My Summary
About Me
* I'm fully COVID-19 Vaccinated and take weekly COVID lateral flow tests.
* I am currently looking to work up to 16 hours a week, but I am flexible.
Hi, I’m Nico and I’m 30 years old. My gender pronouns are they/them. I am currently training to be a counsellor (with the aim to be a therapist for children and young people) and am otherwise off work due to my health, but I am wanting to work part-time. In my spare time I love to sing, play the acoustic drum, do pottery and be in nature. I occassionally volunteer with Brook, where I educate children and young people about sex and healthy relationships. I am also due to start volunteering within a charity that hosts wellbeing groups for queer and trans teenagers.
I am an experenced and qualified early years practitioner with plenty of patience, passion and devotion to my work. Working with children has always been and will always be something I am incredibly passionate about - it genuinely brings me a lot of joy. I have always been commited to creating an inclusive environment for children and young people that is safe and nourishing, where they can flourish, and that encourages compassion to themselves and others. I am passionate about teaching children about consent, boundaries + good communication, as I believe these are very important to be able to communicate / ask for and respect in others. In general, I am a kind and caring communicator and this definitely applies to my practice. I am trustworthy, receptive to the needs of children and parents, responsible, and have plenty of energy. I love getting to know the children I work with, and with that develops different ideas for activities that can be done that are catered around their passions and interests.
I have, throughout nearly all of my career of 10 years, worked with children with a range of different ages, needs, and in a variety of settings. I have a Level 3 NVQ Early Years Practitioner qualification. I am on the DBS update service.
I do not drive, but I do live next to multiple options of public transport so it would be easy for me to travel to different areas of Bristol. I believe it's incredibly important to be punctual for committments so this will, of course, be maintained in my child care. I am vegetarian and don't know how to cook meat, but would be okay to cook fish or re-heat meat.
My Experience
I have extensive experience (10 years) in working with children and young people from a variety of backgrounds within a variety of settings (including a nursery as a level 3 practitioner within the pre-school room, after school clubs as a play worker and SEN play worker, a primary school as an SEN teaching assistant, overnight child sitting for an SEN child, child sitting, within a domestic abuse charity organisation working with CYP service user, and within a homelessness charity working with teenage service users). I’ve worked with CYP aged from 0 months to 18 years.
