My Summary
About Me
Dear Parent
Cureently I am not lookong for a job, but thank you for checking in.:) Have a lovely day!
About me:
About 9 years ago I wanted to come here to the UK to try myself out of my comfort zone, practice English and save some money. So I started to work as an Au-pair (anyway I am an Advertising and Marketing Manager) but I have fallen in love with the childcare profession. I love kids because their love is the most honest and they accept you as you are and you can learn and teach so much from and to them. It is wonderful to work with these little people and help them to be great adults.
From my plenty of years of experiences I am aware that if you work with children, patience is essential. Safeguarding, responsibility, sense of humour, creativeness, fantasy, problem-solving, partnership working (not with just the kids with the parents and other adults who take part in the children daily life), and flexibility is essential but the most important is love. This is the main engine of this profession.
Actually, my amazing SEN Teacher friend told me before we went to college that I should have chosen the teaching profession as I have a sense of it. She was right. Working with children become my passion so since that I started as an au-pair I keep on developing my professional skills. I am very determined and open-minded and passionate about childcare.
My passion is evident as I have done the necessary training and become an Ofsted registered private nanny. Whilst I was nannying I decided to take the next step in my professional development and become a qualified Early Years Professional. Besides, I started to work in an amazing nursery setting. I was working there for more than 5 years as a senior Early Years Educator. Currently I am working in another fantastic Nursery in the same role. As my passion and ambition takes me further and further I completed my Degree in Early Childhood Studies at Oxford Brookes University.I am also considering to gain an Early Years Yoga Teacher qualification as well as extending my current knowledge in child nutrition and physical development as I love cooking healthy meals and from my very active personality I am really into young children's physical development.
If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me.
CV, excellent references and their phone numbers, qualifications, up to date DBS and First aid certificate are available upon request.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Sandy
