About Emily

48 years old Speaks English French
Having studied Art Psychotherapy I have learnt to be a good listener and to also recognise certain behaviours without words. I have worked with children and adults with many different abilities and behaviours. I am good at thinking on my feet and being able to change plans and activities to suit the child mood and preferences. I'm very creative, flexible and adaptable. I began working in schools in London as a TA and learning mentor with specials needs and mainstream primary school children in 2009. I used my knowledge attained whilst studying art psychotherapy and TEFL teaching (English), and mainly worked on a one to one basis. I then studied to become a community art leader and began running art workshops for children and adults in Cornwall / London / Devon. I also run classes for children and mums and babies in Yoga.(YA Certified 2007) In recent years I studied again Level 3 home based childcare, safeguarding children, food and hygiene, SEND.. My working hours are flexible. I am looking for regular work in the Totnes area but not Wednesdays and Saturday mornings as I teach English classes.
