Hi My name is Sophie and I've been in the childcare sector for a year now. I have a true passion for looking after childrens wellbeing and I am a very nurturing and compassionate person. Before I persued my dream of working with children I worked in a care home that specialised in dementia and there we often saw very vulnerable people who required maximum attention and had very complex needs, due to working in this environment I am very calm under pressure and I understand that patience and understanding is key. I am familiar with Sen and moving and handling if required. I have undertaken an epilepsy awareness course as well as first aid and have achieved my childcare certificate at level 2. I now work in the toddler room at a nursery and am familiar with but not limited to: childrens routines, healthy portion sizes and diet, weaning, bottle feeding/prep machines, playtime/taking care of teeth, the importance of play, and messy play. I do not drive and would not be able to do pick up/drop off if it is not within walking distance. I look forward to hearing from you Sophie
