I gained my level 2 childcare as an apprentice at Sandhill's day nursery, I have gained valuable experience in my spare time on a voluntary basis looking after children from ages 5-7. The duties of this role included supervising and monitoring the safety of children, prepare meals and organize specific mealtimes, help the children maintain good hygiene I currently work at little gems kids club at Sidemoor first school as a supervisor where I partake in the same sort of roles as my experience at sandhills day nursery. I started off as a playworker which my main role was to ensure the students were safe, occupied and having fun. I had to make snacks for the children dependent on what they want. I work 5 days a week and do so to the best of my ability giving my upmost every time and as a result I got promoted to a supervisor. This role is very different and comes with contrasting challenges such as opening up and closing the hall for the children, taking bookings from parents for their children and being involved in teacher meetings where we have meetings with teachers and discuss the children and how we could support them to the highest quality. Having always enjoyed working and engaging with young children, I am now looking to enhance my own education and my future career path in the child care sector and look forward to a new challenge.
