My Summary

My Experience

I've worked with children since I was old enough to have any kind of responsibility. My mother was the president of the National Childbirth Trust, and we held charity events in our house and garden all through my childhood and teenage years when I was expected, and willing, to help out. I also helped at creches run by the NCT for events like the AGM and the Baby Show.
I completed my year ten work placement at a nursery school and loved my fortnight there.
During my gap year I worked full time at a large private day nursery (registered for 74 children) I worked in every room within the nursery giving me experience of children from just three months right up to the pre-schoolers.
During that year I also volunteered in local infants and primary school, working with each year group and assisting the teacher.
I completed the first year of Primary Teacher Training, specialising in Early Years, and then decided that teaching wasn't for me. During my time at university I completed three more work placements with varying levels of responsibility including full class instruction.
I have since worked in four after school and holiday clubs and then ran my own business hosting award-winning baby classes for three years. For the last five years I have been Room Lead for Babies and third in charge, then Deputy Manager, at two private day nurseries.
