After finishing my A-Levels I became an Au Pair for several months in Germany, where I looked after two children aged between 11 months and 3 years old. This was one of the most positive and enjoyable experiences I have had, as I was solely responsible for days out, collection from kindergarten, meal times and some nap times too. This developed my skills in care for younger children, as well as general patience and understanding of their needs. In the summer of 2019 I went on to work at a summer camp for children aged 7-18, working often with primary school age children in groups of 12. Here, I was an activity instructor mostly which involved high levels of engagement and safety protocols while running sessions such as problem solving and abseiling. I also functioned as a group leader, which meant I provided extra support at meal times, evening wind-down activities and organising their schedules. I am now very comfortable with many different ways of engaging different age groups, and have high levels of organisational skills should they be needed. If children are of homework age I am also happy to provide support, as I have always helped my younger brother with his studies right up to A-Level.
