Early years professional from Canterbury with over 10 years experience.
| My love for working in the early years began when I started working in a preschool. After 8 years of work I decided to move on to a new venture and expand my experiences, I worked within a primary school becoming a higher level teaching assistant, again I stayed here for around 8 years before I needed a new challenge. I worked within a behavioural school in class 3 until I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy and took on a new role as a nanny for a baby girl. Our lovely little girl is now in reception class, as is my son! So I returned back to the place it all began! I currently work 9-3 at the pre school :) however I am able to work all day on Wednesdays each week. Evenings and some weekends. Throughout my work with schools I have been working with various families part time including school runs, babysitting, tutoring and weekend work. I have many families who would happily provide references and have many many years experience and qualifications. I am constantly updating my knowledge of safeguarding and first aid. I also hold a fully enhanced DBS certification for 2 sites, one for Kent county council through working with children and one for my role every Friday night as a scout leader for our smallest group “squirrels”

Law student, with medical background.
| I am a 20 year old first year Law student at Canterbury Christchurch University. I did a year of medical school last but decided to transfer to Law. I am an extremely kind, polite and hard working person; who takes pride in being the best she can be. I appreciate the importance of family and therefore can sympathise that finding the right person to help out within your family setting is paramount to you. My many life experiences have shaped me into a person that can mould into any role you need me to adopt. I have volunteered in hospitals and worked for 2 months in hospitals in the Dominican Republic, where I cared for elderly patients and assisted the nurses in bed baths, changing, and keeping them company. My kind heart and loving nature has always found me helping other people before helping myself. We as a younger generation have so much to learn from our elders, I find talking to them and hearing about how different their lives were, liberating. Similarly, due to personal illness I have had training with injections, medications, feeding tubes etc. and with my medical student background I am also quite clued up on common elderly issues and medical needs for them.
