I grew up in a large family and have a growing amount of young nieces and nephews who I regularly look after. At the age of 15, I started work experience in a local preschool which enabled me to learn more about how to communicate and ensure the safety of different children. I have also volunteered with young people who have autism which further improved my understanding and empathy. I am passionate about caring for children and encouraging them to do new things, and look forward to building a trusting relationship with them and their families.
