Experience I have outside of working in a childcare setting: I grew up around children mum childminded for years until I was in my second year of college. I was always helping her with the kids and entertaining them and feeding helping them with personal care and we were a host caring family for a child with complex needs and I was fully involved with helping them with their needs and got up in the night with them. As I got older I started babysitting mums friends children newborns+ during the day and I look after my 5 year old cousin a lot of the time and I babysat a lot for a couple that had 5 kids ages around 9-1 Experience work within a childcare setting; I have done lots of placements within a few different settings such as special needs, mainstream, Creches, nursery’s, after school setting. I am now currently working in an after school club that has children ages 5-11/12.
