About Me

I have recently moved upto Thirsk , North Yorkshire

I am 42 years old and a qualified Nursey Nurse with experience in various roles in nursery, paediatrics and healthcare roles. I've worked in the NHS for over 20 years.

I currently work with Yorkshire Ambulance as an Emergency Care Assistant and also as a Hospital Play Specialist at Manchester children's hospital, were I still work on the bank.

I am qualified in Emergency first aid. I enjoy dancing, walks in the fresh air among many other things.

I am available for babysitting if I am free and even some daytime cover if needed depending on my shifts. So cant guarantee a set day every week but I can offer emergency childcare if available.I have a 6 weekly rota do know some dates in advacnce.

I also have subscription to Enhanced DBS, all qualifications available and any references required.

My Experience

I first qualified as a nursery nurse in 1997 with a NNEB diploma , for the first year I worked in a private day nursery. In 1998 i joined Manchester's Children Hospital and I have worked in the NHS for over 17 years in paediatrics, as a play leader then went on to qualify as a Hospital Play Specialist.

I also studied for HNC in early childhood studies. I have had regular training in paediatric first aid ( CPR, chocking) , infection control, moving and handling.

Ive worked with newborns right through to 19 years of age. I've experience with learning difficulties and special needs, devising play programmes to build on routine coming in to hospital for procedures. I also devised behaviour modification programs helping both parents/ carers and children work together to over come fears, difficult behaviour and phobias.

I participated in running Webster Stratton parenting groups and implementing plans within the home.

I was also seconded to work within the nhs as a family support worker for the family and children with learning disability team.

Ive undertaken many other short courses such as nutrition, understanding health and conflict resolution, I am responsible for my own continuing Professional development and always updating my CPD.

I'm a single dog parent to two cocker spaniels!! so we do lots of walking. I enjoy the gym, dancing and generally usually the biggest kid of em all !!!
so as I mentioned I'm available more ad hoc babysitting and Emergency cover.
All certificates available and I have a enhanced DBS which is available to check at any as I have subscribed to the service.
