Special Needs Care in Trafford

I have worked alongside children with special needs constantly throughout my 5 years in childcare. I am currently the special educational needs co-ordinator at my current job where I have also looked after 2 children on a 1:1 basis. I am currently looking into doing my Level 2 in Special Educational Needs.

| I have completed a Diploma, Foundation Degree and recently completed a degree with the Open University. I used to work as part of a support team at a residential boys school. I then went on to work at a secondary school as a teaching assistant; supporting SEN students for 4 years. I have also taught dancing to children 3-16 years old and did this for 9 years. I have recently completed a 3 day first aid course whilst working on placement in a local college working as part of the student wellbeing team. I have just completed my level 5 course in youth and community work at MMU. Whilst studying I was working full time at Costa Coffee as a supervisor, I currently provide respite care for a family who has an 18 year old son with downs syndrome. Previous to this I also cared for 3 Spanish children and picked them up from school and helped them with homework and took them to various different clubs.

| As a fully qualified primary school teacher I have a full DBS and more than 10 years experience of working with children aged 3-11. I specialised in early years and spent many years working with 3-5 year olds. I have worked in a range of schools and developed amazing relationships with both children and their families. I have taken a step away from main stream education in the last year and have been working as a supply teacher and I am ready for a new challenge as I look for work outside of education. I am passionate about working with children and families and feel that childcare or nannying would be a great fit. I own a car and have a full clean driving licence. I am able to take children to and from activities or out on day trips. I am also able to keep children busy in the home while supporting with any homework they may have. I set clear boundaries but love to have fun. I have experience of working with children with SEND including autism and down syndrome. I am married but without children of my own so I can be flexible in the hours that I can work. Non-smoker. Outside of my career, family is really important to me, I also love travel, read and look after my houseplants!
