I have been a support worker for two years now and within this time I have supported service users from the age 4-27 years old with a range off disabilities. I am currently in my last year at Queen Margaret University working toward my honours degree in International Hospitality and Tourism Management- with this I have achieved a 'elementary level one food hygiene' certificate, and have captained (I am a qualified level 1&2 cheerleading coach) and been president of my universities competitive cheerleading team. I have not child-minded before however with my experience with being a support worker has set me up with multiple skills similar to a child-minder. My job has offered me to be trained in: child protection, adult protection, medication handling, first aid, epilipsy training, food hygiene, and mental health. And a full PVG. In the future I hope to go into a post-graduate course to become a secondary teacher in Business Management and this is why I have turned to child-minding as I love working with children and it is where I hope to have my future career in.
