My name is Izzy and I’m currently a Teaching Assistant at the Grammar School at Leeds working directly with children aged 3-4. As part of my job role, I also work directly with children aged 3-7 during after school club, and I worked with Year 6 (ages 11-12) last year. Prior to my role as a TA, I was a Nursery Practitioner with Children's Corner Childcare, during which I worked with children aged 6 months to 4 years. I have a Cache Level 2 Diploma in Early Years and have completed a 12 hour paediatric First Aid course, and naturally have an up to date, full DBS check. Working with children is my passion, and my long term career goal is to become a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, which I have recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma working towards. I really enjoy working with children, and I understand the importance of leaving your child with someone you can trust, who you know will look after them physically and emotionally! My PGDip has also given me the skills to understand the internal world of children and young people, and so I am better equipped to deal with challenging behaviour should it arise, and how to deal with it appropriately. Thank you for your time and I hope you will consider me!
