Hi I am Joanne, I am 38 and am here to help! I have worked in care for 13 years. I am now putting my vast experience to commit to working with children. I am currently studying towards CACHE Level 3 Early Years Workforce and Level 3 Teaching Assistant. I am currently at a placement at my local playgroup/nursery caring for 2-5 year olds, and also a local after school and holiday club, for children aged 4 - 14. I have worked in several care environments - the NHS, care homes, in the community and for Mencap from which I have gained excellent communication skills. I am very empathetic and always try to see from the point of view of the person that I am assisting. I am also qualified as an Holistic Health Therapist and attuned to Reiki level 1 and working towards my Level 2, leading to Master. I am interested in alternative therapies such as Aromatherapy and Crystal Therapy.
