I am a friendly person who enjoys spending time with children and encouraging and observing them learning through play by having a great time in a range of environments. I enjoy reading, walking, photography, spending time with my younger brother from birth who is now 12years of age and has cerebral palsy and global developmental delay. I have a wide experience of working with children of various ages, abilities and backgrounds in a range of settings. Up to June 2013 I have worked as a Communication Support Worker for over 5 years as a one to one for children with hearing impairments using British Sign Language (BSL). Therefore I have achieved BSL Level 1 and 2 and am currently studying BSL Level 3. I also know Makaton which is using signs and symbols to aid communication. I have also worked closely with and supported children who have Special Educational Needs, Global Developmental Delay, Learning Difficulties and ADHD. I hold a BTEC National Certificate Level 3 in Early Years.
