My Summary
About Me
My name is Caroline, I'm 34 and I live in Stamford Bridge with my partner Gary who is a secondary school teacher and my two sons Jacob and Louie.
I have had a passion for childcare since I was young girl and I find spending time with children great fun and very rewarding. So much so that after leaving school with 9 GCSE’s I enrolled at Beverley College to study for a BTEC National Diploma in Early Years. On this course I gained lots of experience working in different nursery settings and with different age groups. I have gathered experience from schools, nurseries, childminders and playgroups as well as spending time on the baby ward at Hull Royal Infirmary.
After achieving my BTEC qualification I began a career as a nursery nurse and worked in several different settings, eventually working my way up to senior nursery nurse in one of York's largest nurseries. After having my little boy Jacob I felt it was the perfect opportunity to start my own childcare business from home. This way I can care for Jacob whilst providing a home based childcare for other children too. I really enjoy providing resources, planning activities, helping children learn and most importantly seeing them happy and having a good time.
My home is warm and welcoming and enjoyed by all children. We have a colourful playroom that is full of learning opportunities including toys, musical instruments, creative material and books. It is designed to be enjoyed by all children aiding them to develop and learn new skills for their future. We have a secure spacious garden with outdoor toys and a vegetable patch which the children love to explore.
My Experience
I have gained lots of experience with babies and young children from 3 months to 8 years. I have enjoyed planning activities and helping children learn and develop.I have enjoyed every minute of my career so far and have always felt like I had the best job in the world. During my final position I worked as a Senior Nursery Nurse helping to look after children and developing their learning. All this was achieved by planning and creating activities in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
