My name is Charlotte. Started my final year at University of Southampton studying Child Nursing.

Since I was 14 Years Old I have worked with a playscheme called Let Us Play Scheme (LUPS), it is charity run and provides care and fun for children between the ages of 2-18 who have learning difficulties such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome. It is a rewarding job as you are able to see how interaction with the children brings them such joy. I have had experience in babysitting family friends from the ages of 5 and 7. I have danced all my life and as I got older we became more involved with the younger children i.e. helping them with routines, making sure they were safe when we went to a performance. When I was younger I was introduced to my next door neighbours grand-daughter, sadly she was diagnosed with Dystonia and sadly passed away several years ago. A close family friend of mine was born with cleft lip and palate, I felt that I wanted to do something for both of the little girls so I done several charity events in order to raise money for them and the charities which supported both the families and girls.
