My Summary
About Me
Down to earth and flexible childcare. I have experience working with children of all ages, and varying physical and learning disabilities.

Teaching- Year 4 students:
I planned and delivered activities and classes to year 4 students once a fortnight in D&T and Art. Here I arranged activities that were exciting as well as inclusive and educational. The classes were a great success, and I had lots of fun learning from the students too.

It is essential in a role such as this, to have love, care and excitement for the generation to come. I take everyday as an opportunity to learn something new and my time working with children has consistently fulfilled this desire. Always met with new knowledge, new challenges and new connections. I’d best describe myself as proactive, hands-on and creative. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I’m not afraid of being told new ways to approach things.
A bit about me: I come from a family of Behavioural specialists and Educational psychologists and SENCOs- this has given me an excellent advantage to have insight into the ‘higher up’ systems in education, and social care which has proven greatly beneficial while supporting families to find the right therapies, schools and care plans for those with disabilities. It has also given me the opportunity to learn communication methods used by schools, allowing a seamless transition between home and school life. (PECS, beginner makaton)
I’m a creative, having studied in fine art and continuing as a mature student in engineering part time (remotely) I have a mind that likes to make patterns, create answers and find solutions. I am hands on around the house with great DIY skills- fixing a lot of things that get broken by children (and adults!)
I am also a great cook- while I am mostly leading a vegetarian diet myself, I’m content with cooking all and any types of food. Creating nourishing healthy food that most important tastes great!
