I have worked with children since I was 16 years of age, starting in a Sunday club looking after children from 3 months to 5 years. I then went into do some youth work which was children and young people ages 12-17 years. I have worked in nursery’s and in residential care settings. I hold a Level 5 child care and development certificate. I also participate in girl-guiding which is a voluntary position where girls are between the ages of 10-17 years of age.
