In my roles as a Support Worker at London Inclusion Sports Academy, Special People, and The Village School, I’ve provided personalized care and support, ensuring each child’s safety, well-being, and inclusion in both educational and recreational activities.

Additionally, I’ve worked closely with parents, educators, and healthcare professionals to create and implement care plans tailored to each child’s specific requirements.

In my role as a Healthcare Assistant at Swiss Cottage Special School, I’ve gained valuable experience in administering medication, monitoring health indicators, and providing essential care, such as feeding and dressing. My focus on fostering a positive and supportive environment has helped improve the social skills and independence of the children I’ve worked with.

My experience in these roles has equipped me with strong communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, making me well-suited to provide high-quality care and support in a childcare setting. I am committed to creating a nurturing and engaging environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
