My Summary
About Me
I am a caring, compassionate, honest, reliable, warm, trustworthy Person. I am a mum of two grown up boys and have two young granddaughters. I have over 25 years experience in the childcare which includes fostering for 10 years and 15 years in children’s centres. I am very active and also help my son out with his small business at weekends providing bouncy castles and soft play equipment for hire.
My Experience
I have 25 years experience of working with children including 10 years as a Foster carer. During my time as a foster carer I looked after two children age 2 and under including twins. I arranged medical appointments and attended professional meetings. I was able to get the children into good routines and watch them grow into confident little toddlers. I supported children to move on to their 'forever' families.
I have been working in a Children's Centre for 15 years. My roles have included Under 5's Education worker to Senior Early Years Practitioner where I had the responsibility of co-ordinating all stay and play groups including a group that supported children who had language delays. I am now the SENCO in my large setting. This role is very challenging as we have a large number of Children with SEN including Autism and Physical disabilities. I work very closely with parents and professionals and ensure that children with SEN get the additional help and support that they need to thrive in our setting. I support staff within the centre by modelling strategies and creating individual visuals to support children with SEN including Makaton, using objects of reference, intensive interactions, sensory circuits and visuals. I manage a team of 6 SEN support workers and together we ensure that every child with special educational needs are supported to take part and thrive in every aspect of nursery life.

3.5 year old boy saw Jo and immediately liked her. Nice first experience!
Overall
Jo came to us at short notice and looked after 'FOUR' boys aged between 5-12yrs without a hitch. They all said she was great - and we are inclined to agree. Really helpful personality, immediately involved and very professional. Couldn't do better, many thanks!
