Friendly Babysitter
| In the future my ideal job would be to work with children in a nursery and I am making this more possible by doing different placements working in them. I have studied in college a childcare course which helped me to understand the children more and work towards their needs. Also I come from a big family where I have been babysitting them and looking after them since they were born. I am happy to tell you a lot more if you give me the chance and get in touch with me.

  • Hyndburn
Childcare Professional with BA Hons in Early Years
| I currently work in Year 2, in a very large Primary School (an intake of 90 children per year). I have experience of working in EYFS and Year One, also. I assist the teacher in day-to-day activities, planning and interventions to aid the children’s learning and development. This involves working from IEP’s and EHCP’s to ensure the child’s needs are met. I have covered classes in staff absence, following lesson plans and delivering lessons to children. This could be from registering the children to delivering; Phonics, Guided Reading, English, Maths, Topic, PSHE, PE and Computing lessons. Confidentially is a key concept and I am fully aware of all policies and procedures involved in working in a childcare setting. I have up-to-date Safeguarding and Paediatric First Aid training. I have experience of working with children from 0 years of age, through to 7 years. I am currently supporting a child with Autism and with Type 1 Diabetes. At set times throughout the day, I test the child’s blood sugar and administer insulin when required. I support the child at lunch times to ensure he has everything he needs, medically. This is my third year working with this child. (Referred to as ‘the child’ to protect the identity.
