| I have worked in a number of childcare environments. I was an au pair to a family with five children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. I have also worked in a private nursery with children from five months to five years. I am currently studying primary education therefore I have experience working with individuals of this age range. My mother was also a foster carer and as a result I have experience working with children from a day old and with a range of additional needs. I have also babysat for two children between the ages of 7 and 15 years old.
