In my free time I like to run, be creative, go to the beach and see the people that I love. I love all animals, and have always had dogs since I was a child. I am DBS checked. I have worked as a support worker for children with severe complex disabilities ages 6-19, assisting with personal care, ensuring they were having fun and were entertained, and helping them achieve their goals. Most children I worked with were unable to use conventional forms of communication, I therefore used alternative methods, such as Makaton and payed closer attention to their body language. This helped me greater understand what these children were trying to communicate and the emotions they were experiencing. Within my social work degree I learn about child safeguarding and the importance of children's early years. My education in this made me aware of the value love, creativity, eye contact, attachment and reliability has on the way we develop, I am therefore conscious that these are supplied to the child unconditionally. In my A-Levels I achieved an A in art, an A in sociology and a B in English literature. I would love to engage in crafting activities with your children or support them with school work if this is necessary.
