My Summary
About Me
My name is Gemma and i have a passion for working with children.I have 2 children myself and i thoroughly enjoy being a mother. I enjoy watching children develop and grow, as they pass onto a new stage.
I have experience in additional needs, as i have a diagnosis of ASD myself. I have experience in working with children with additional needs, through my voluntary work with Homestart also.
I'm an academic and i'm currently studying for my MA Childhood and Youth Studies; so i'm more than happy to tutor children where need be and support them with their education, of which is incredibly important. I hold qualifications (see below), i enjoy teaching myself new things - for example i study on 'open learn' daily to develop my interests and keep me 'ticking over' so to speak.
I enjoy the outdoors, for example walking, jogging, exploring new places. I enjoy family day trips and i have a keen interest in children developing their hands-on skills.
As much as i love the outdoors, i also enjoy a watching a good movie, reading books, cooking/baking and playing games at home - whether its board games, or hide and seek.
I have a natural empathetic nature, and i care deeply about children's mental well-being, as much as their physical well-being. I enjoy giving my time to children, as i feel every child deserves to have this time.
'The greatest gift you can give someone is your time' (unknown).
My Experience
i have A years experience in nannying. I further have personal experience with children, due to having 2 myself. Additionally, i have experience in looking after twin baby girls on a fortnightly basis. (I am a nanny to my sister's children.) Furthermore, i have experience in supporting families and children through my work with Homestart, of whom i worked for voluntarily for 18 months. Collectively, this gives me a vast amount of experience with children and i feel i can cope well with supporting others' children on a regular basis.
