I have just finished my second year at Norland Nanny College. I have had many years of childcare experience ranging from newborn to teenagers. I started helping my Mum look after my 3 younger sisters at the age of 12 as she became a single parent. My sisters were then 9 months, 3 and 10 years old. I have continued to help her and have gained many skills (including a great deal of patience!) along the way. This then lead me to Nanny after School and at weekends for local families. I also did various work experience placements at a local Nursery and at a Primary School with Years 1 and 4. Receiving a place at Norland college is my biggest achievement so far. I gained many skills including cooking nutritional and balanced healthy meals for children of all ages including those with dietary needs, bottle feeding, weaning and the introduction of finger foods. I have learnt fun and safe ways for bathing, changing nappies, health and safety and first aid. My two years at Norland also gave me life time friends and experiences and I will forever be grateful for that. I have a full clean driving license and am DBS checked.
