I have been a fully qualified childcare practitioner for 7 years and have worked with children in many different settings. I started working in a nursery where I worked my way up from an assistant to becoming the room leader of the toddler room, I thoroughly enjoyed the responsibility of running my own room and ensuring the children had a fun learning experience, while being in a safe environment. After 5 years of being in a nursery I decided to go Australia and live for a year traveling and working. I found a job as an Au Pair looking after a 6 year old, I loved the home experience of getting the little one up and ready for school, and picking her up helping with home work and cooking her dinner with other house hold duties. It was a lovely experience. When I came home from my travels I began working for a special needs respite centre on Saturdays, we go for day trips on a one-to-one care basis and I thoroughly enjoy it. While working at the Saturday club I decided to go to uni to study psychology and would eventually like to become a play therapist. I would love the opportunity to find a loving family to help throughout the summer and potentially to fit around uni.
