My Summary
About Me
Hi there, I am 27 and love working with Children and families -particularly in home settings!
I am an approachable, gentle, kind and positive character and believe that practicing empathy is really important for supporting children's wellbeing. I also understand that keeping boundaries can help children to feel safe. I am passionate about giving children audible space for children to be heard and physical space where children can experience wonder and engage in creative processes. I know that building safe, trusting relationships with others is really important for supporting a child's wellbeing & development and I would love to be able to offer this for children.
A lot of my approach to working with children has been influenced by Montessori values as well as therapeutic and trauma-informed approaches.
I have a keen interest and good understanding in the areas of food, nutrition, health & lifestyle and enjoy cooking creatively from scratch with whatever ingredients are in the kitchen cupboard!
I love walks in nature (I have a fun-loving spaniel who gets me out exploring beautiful parts of nature!). I love doing any practical tasks that benefit others and always make it my mission to find joy even in the most mundane of tasks.
Alongside my work for families I work self-employed as a part-time Artist (selling my paintings and prints) and Piano-teacher (Teaching via Zoom).
My Experience
I have a degree in Children & Family work which led me on to working with children in a wide variety of settings including schools, charitable organisations, play groups, family homes, overseas work in children's homes, ALN schools and a Riding school for Children with Disabilities. I spent two years giving support to families in complex/challenging living situations and working closely with children who have experienced family bereavement & trauma.
I have been Nannying under-5-year-olds since January 2022 (Including experience with twins).
I have an understanding of supporting children's social, emotional & mental wellbeing. I have engaged in both play and art therapy introductory training days. I have been trained in safeguarding and am also paediatric First-aid trained (as of Jan 2022).
I have City & Guilds Level 3 Children’s Care, Play, Learning and Development practice (PACEY home-based childcare qualification). And am registered with CIW so that families in wales can benefit from tax-free childcare if eligible.
I am afraid I currently don’t have much availability to take on much more work however I am keeping this profile here for when my availability does open up!
