About Me

Hi, I'm Heidi! I'm a bubbly, caring and creative 25 year old. I’m considered to be a bubbly, empathetic and creative individual and I feel to be working in my element when I'm with children. I love to see them learning, developing and discovering their surroundings.

I am looking to provide care 1 day a week and/or ad hoc hours to support my part-time job as a Speech and Language Assistant Practioner.

I have over 10 years experience working with children 0-19 and have spent the last 3.5yrs as a senior healthcare assistant within a special needs school (working with children with complex medical needs). I like to build a rapport with families so they feel safe and comfortable to enjoy regular evenings out/nights away with peace of mind.

*Disclamer* My PFA is out of date, however I have more thorough training due to my current role I provide medical care to children with complex health needs on a daily basis.

My Experience

I have had many varied opportunities caring for children that have helped me increase my knowledge and skills. I currently work within a special needs school as a health care assistant (with children with complex medical needs), but I have also worked as a nursery key person, babysitter, summer camp assistant, after-school club assistant, teaching assistant and also a healthcare assistant within some children wards. I am considered empathetic, bubbly and caring; therefore, I find huge fulfillment supporting children in their educational and social development. Also, I am highly creative and imaginative, so I love ‘mucking-in’ and being able to play alongside any children in my care. I am also a responsible and highly organized individual, which has always helped me within my childcare roles.

I hold a full UK driving licence so I am able to do pick-up/drop-offs and also take the child(ren) on trips out. I am also fully DBS checked and have a paediatric first-aid certificate.

Thank you for considering my application.

Kind regards,
Heidi
