My Summary
About Me
My name is Katie, I am a mother of four children and have always loved working with children. I am a big child at heart and love getting involved with games and activities. I like to be out and about as much as possible, exploring new places and getting muddy and finding new things to do no matter what the weather is, I love playing indoors, using lots of different toys and doing different activities to fill our days.
I have level three qualifications in playwork and homebased childcare, I have a full, clean driving licence as well as the appropriate car insurance and car chairs. I am paediatric first aid trained and have recently had my first Ofsted grading - I received 'Good', I am very happy with this is it is my first grading.
My Experience

I have three daughters, one is four and a half years old, my third baby is two and a half years old and I have recently given birth to another little girl who is just under 1 month old). I have been working with children in all different aspects of childcare, from holiday and after school clubs, teaching PE lessons in primary schools and working with secondary school children and young adults who have SEND. I have personal experience with children with SEND, I have a younger brother who has dyspraxia and speech delay/learning difficulties as well as a younger cousin who has autism.
