Student passionate about working with children
|
My name is Heidi and I am third-year student completing a LLB/BA at the University of Otago, my passions in law including human rights, healthcare and animal rights, and my BA major and minors include Philosophy, Psychology, and Gender Studies. I love working with children and would love to be considered for the job. I have had a lot of child care experience, having worked at an Before/After School Care and Holiday Program as a Supervisor, so am capable and confident looking after children of all primary ages. In this role I have had to make sure all children are accounted for and properly signed in/out (which can range from 50-70ish children), and lead/direct other staff through the day and keep them on task and in their assigned areas/activities. I have had to ensure all children are supervised and accounted for, engage with and support families, tailor care to specific needs to children, help and support children with behavioural and social difficulties, organise and run activities, and ensure children feel safe and comfortable through the day/afternoon. I have also had plenty experience with older kids from 11+ through various casual babysitting jobs through the years and am able to relate well to children of any age group.
