I have extensive skills and a great deal of experience having worked as a teaching assistant in a school for children with special needs between ages 4 to 10. I also have many years baby sitting children of all ages and coaching sport to children aged 4 to 15 and young people aged 16 and above. I have experience in first aid, full police checks and I am very resourceful. I have childcare qualifications such as safeguarding and understanding mental health in children and young people. I am patient, kind and friendly and very knowledgeable in how to entertain and encourage children.
