My Summary

My Experience

I have been working as a childminder in Glasgow for the past 4 years. Most recently I was engaged in employment caring for two young children in Glasgow West End, I was responsible for collecting them from school and nursery, travelling home with them, taking care of dinner and play activities until their parents returned in the evening. Before this my job was caring for a five year old boy with significant medical requirements, Here I have gained experience working with special needs and visual impairment, previously to this I worked for a Glasgow family with three young girls ages 7 - 11 childminding four days a week 8am-6pm. In this role I looked after the girls independently, entertained, fed and cared for them in the family home. In the past year I have completed two teaching placements in primary schools in the role of drama teacher. I have taught workshops for 12-15 year olds at the royal conservatoire and have regularly looked after my three nieces, my nephew and cousins in a child minder role. In the past five years I have volunteered as an English teacher, classroom assistant, drama coordinator and private tutor. I have experience looking after young people from toddlers to teens having facilitated and run drama lessons and workshops in a high school and independently run a creche at the BUZZCUT festival. I also have experience from volunteering as a scouts leader which involved the care, education and entertainment of children each Tuesday evening for around a year. I also over three consecutive years spent a week each summer helping to facilitate an outreach camp for 11-14 year olds. I have a PVG background check to state that I am able to work with children and I consider myself to be an overall enthusiastic and fun person when working with young people.
