At a glance: Have been a nanny to three separate families. Also to another family with boys aged 2 and 5. Completed modules in: Child Development Child Health and Well-being Early Childhood Education and Play Creative Arts For Early Childhood My experience working in a preschool setting, excellent communication and observational skills has made my nanny skills finer. During my work experience in my local Naionra I have gained and honed a lot of valuable skills for childcare such as observing the children day to day and their accomplishments, difficulties and changes, communication skills with the children and adapting to their individual needs. The care of children and being around them and stimulating their development makes me happy, challenges me daily and rewards me in countless ways. But apart from this I realise how important the role of the child carer is to their development as well as providing a safe, positive, healthy and comfortable space they can enjoy.
