| Hi! My names Evie, and I’m 22 years old. I currently hold a Level 3 childcare and early years qualification; during this college course I also completed a first aid course, which has been updated this year during my time working in a local nursery. I have an up to date DBS check, and have a few years experience working in multiple nurseries with up to 30 children, and being a keyworker to a group of children where I was in charge of supporting them in all areas of development and creating detailed plans and activities to aid them in achieving their milestones! I’m extremely passionate about childcare, I love working with children and creating fun creative activities to do with them to help them expand their development and to support them in reaching their milestones through play!
