I have worked with children for many years as a Primary School Teacher for children in the full Primary age range (5 - 11). I spent many years helping underpriviledged children through the Millmead Neighbourhood Centre Association in Margate. One of my roles was the Manager of their Summer Playschemes. I studied for the City & Guilds 325 Social Care course which included a child study and placement at the Mill Lane Playgroup, Margate. I am a very paternal person who loves to nurture and bring out the best in any child. I consider myself as patient, caring and fun but also firm and fair. I feel honoured to have worked with hundreds of children successfully for the last 25 years. I am currently teaching at a local infant school. References available from my current and previous schools as well as from parents of children I have looked after. Kind regards Mark
