I have always wanted to work with children. I studied Level 3 Childcare at NESCOT college in Epsom where I completed over 100 hours of voluntary work across different settings and age varieties. One was Sparrows Pre-school as a part of my college course two days a week. throughout the course I will be working with children from nursery to year one ages. I worked at Disability Challengers, at the Epsom Play scheme, through working here I have completed specialist training such as; MAPA (management of actual or potential aggression.) Moving People, I have also completed feeding and choking management and keep up to date with my First Aid training, gastrostomy feeding and medication administration. I worked at Busy Bees North Cheam as a Nursery Nurse for one year from 2017-2018. I was in their baby room where I completed personal care, feeding and observing all milestones and growth in all the children. I decided to specialise in special educational needs. From September 2018 I have worked at Carew Academy, I was a teaching assistant for 1 year then progressed to become a Student Support mentor from September 2019 - present. I attended a weeks course to become a MAPA trainer and deliver training to all staff at Carew Academy.
