I am a friendly person who enjoys spending time with children and encouraging and observing them learning through play by having a great time in a range of environments. I have a wide experience of working with children of various ages, abilities and backgrounds in a range of settings. I have provided support towards their learning in mainstream infant and junior schools, special school, preschool, nursery, foster home, alongside a child minder, after school nannying, babysitting and in a unit for the deaf. LI have worked as a communication support worker for over 5 years as a one to one for children with hearing impairments using British Sign Language (BSL). I have achieved BSL Level 1, 2 and 3. I also know Makaton which is using signs and symbols to aid communication. I have also worked closely with and supported children who have special educational needs, global developmental delay, learning difficulties and ADHD. I hold a BTEC National Certificate Level 3 in Early Years as well as a BTEC Level 3 Advanced Award in Working with Sensory Impaired Children and Young People specialising in Hearing Impairment.
