I took on a role as a nursery assistant in Jan 2018, quickly taking on more responsibility and leading the room within a few months assisting or instead of the room leader when they had a day off, finally going on to lead rooms, organising other staff members by setting up activities for the children within the early years framework. Throughout my years at the nursery I built up very good relationships with both children and parents/carers which is reflected in babysitting jobs and also I still do after school pick up and care for one of the families. I have achieved my Level 3 childcare and worked with a good knowledge of safeguarding myself, children and other staff members. To enhance my own learning, I left the nursery to take on an access course in HSE and am now looking to get back into childcare with a view in the coming years to attend University for Occupational Therapy. I really enjoy working with children and excelling their individual learning paths, making sure that they are able to stay engaged and their own interests are explored. In my previous role I achieved my Paediatric First Aid training and was DBS checked yearly according to the guidance.
