I am an early retired primary school teaching assistant with a now grown up son, looking to work with children of all ages. I am versatile and apply the highest care and standards to whatever job I do. I am English but speak fluent Spanish. I have years of experience as a Mum, carer, teaching assistant.. I'm reliable and organised and above all, have common sense, kindness and love a bit of fun! Our children are precious to us and I am happy to meet up with parents prior to working, for reassurance and peace of mind. I have a City and Guilds qualification in supporting teaching and learning and an enhanced DBS certificate. I worked as a volunteer at 2 primary schools before qualifying in 2014. Prior to this, I ran a workshop in a home for people with learning difficulties where I helped them develop independent social and creative skills. I home schooled my son who is now in college and hoping to progress to university afterwards. Plenty of hands-on, current childcare experience with nieces and nephews ranging from 1 to 25 years old - from caring for the youngest, to tutoring / mentoring the oldest! I can teach English language, Literature and Spanish to children who want help with homework or wish to learn.
