Hi. I know your after recommendations but thought I'd let you know about me. I'm a nvq level 3 nursery nurse currently working as a Teaching assistant in a small independent Brentwood school. I've been working with children since I was 14 so 25 years now. Starting as a rainbow leader, party organiser in a soft play centre, then working in nurseries while gaining my qualifications I finally ending up as a room manager. 15 years ago I left to have my Daughter, I then trained as a childminder at night school. This is when I also become a babysitter for the agency Sitters. After 18 months I needed more and wanted to develop my career. I applied for a teachers assistant post which was successful and I’ve spent the last 14 years working my way up to my current role. As well as having another baby (11 years ago) I've always stayed with Sitters and have built up a list of families that request me as their preferred sitter. At school I hold a DBS and have regular training. Including, First Aid, (paediatric first aid and first aid at work) epi pen, health and hygiene, health and safety, add up SEN training, Child protection and Fire training. I feel it’s time to move again and broaden my horizons.
