My journey into childcare began as a babysitter in my teenage years & ever since then I have continued working within childcare through being employed as a Nanny, Childminders assistant, Nursery worker and doing voluntary work for a local youth organisation. There is a joy childcare brings me that couldn't be replaced with any other career, children are wonderful gifts to families and working with them is the most rewarding, most fulfilling jobs there could ever be for me. I find it natural to connect with children & it usually doesn't take much time for children to warm to me. I am confident, knowledgeable & dedicated to creating a stimulating, encouraging, safe atmosphere for each child's individual needs. During my years of practice I have developed strong skills in supporting children of all ages & have an excellent record of working successfully with families in different settings. I take pride in being able to handle difficult situations sympathetically but with professionalism.
