Childcare in Dorking

| I am a cheery, caring, conscientious person who loves children and animals. I enjoy being outdoors and being active. I have always been naturally drawn to caring for children and guiding them to be independent individuals, learning through experience and play. I can work under pressure in a busy environment and am punctual, well organised and can provide excellent references. I am a good cook and a competent cleaner who can communicate well with work colleagues, children, and animals.I have 15 yrs qualified childcare experience. As well as working as a nanny/house keeper for the past 3 years, I also worked as part of a team at two Dorking based nurseries and previously ran my own childcare business. I have a Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Surrey Safeguard Training. I am DBS registered and have a full driving licence.

| I got into childcare I'm 2018 to work around my son and haven't looked back. I get so much joy working with children. Each day is different and exciting and it brings the inner child out in me too, life shouldn't be serious and which children it's not. Watching these little people grow, watching their personalities develop and to know I am apart of their learning and growing process really is magical. During my day to day routine with children I encourage as much learning as possible. I also have lots of educational and fun resources out for children to explore I'm what interests them. I believe there is a lot of learning through story time and songs. I encourage sensory and messy play, arts and crafts, imagination and role play and physical activity. I do trips to the farm regularly including trips to play groups, the library, national trust places and walks in the woods. I think it is important to be outdoors, going for walks, discovering nature and breathing in fresh air every day, so each morning we will be out on adventures. I also encourage mindfulness, to sit and close our eyes, what can we hear, see, feel, focus on being present an use our senses and using deep breathes if were feeling overwhelmed.
