Over the past seven years, I have worked with children in various settings. At the age of fifteen, I began teaching at my drama and dance school. Whilst head girl at *Wilmington Grammar School for Girls, I ran a well-attended musical theatre club, and also worked as a peer mentor, supporting younger students with their academic studies and emotional needs. I have also been babysitting since the age of 16 for numerous families and children. I understand the importance of tailoring my approach to the child/ group of children I am working with. I now pride myself on my ability to flexibly respond to the individual needs of children in my care. In addition to this, I have developed the ability to be spontaneous when working and understand the need to keep things interesting and engaging so the children are getting maximum enjoyment.
