Ela
Nursery Nurse in Pontllanfraith (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Ela. I am 51 years old and married with 3 grown up children, including twins. I live locally in Blackwood. I am a qualified and experienced nursery nurse and I have also managed a local nursery. I have also worked as a community care worker and done some teaching assistant work.
I would like to use my experience to help and support local families, eorking for them as a live out nanny or household help. I have a caring, compassionate and inclusive approach, and I am respectful and proffessional at all times. I am more than happy to take on domestic duties as part of my job. I can also help with some home tutoring and helping with homework. Addifionally I provide babhsitting services. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your family's needs.
? I am currently in the process of registering as an approved homecarer with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).
My Experience
I trained in a local pre-school nursery where I qualified to Level 3 Child Care and Learning Development, to a very high standard. I went on to complete my level 5, and became deputy manager, and then manager of tye nursery. I am very experienced in childcare and child development,
I also led a local children's group on a voluntary basis for seven years, which I very much enjoyed.
I absolutely love working with children, and I am very committed to providing the best care for them, including supporting them in all areas of learning development.
I also have experience of supporting children with additional needs on a one-to-one support basis. I have newborn experience, as I have had three children of my own, including twins. My twins were also born prematurely, so I understand the issues that go along with premature babies, such as adjusting weaning, etc.
I am currently looking for employment in the local area as a home child-carer, for babies and/or pre-school aged children where I would be looking after them in their own home, or as a household help, assisting parents with chikdcare and helping with domestic tasks. I can do this as a booked block of weeks, or for the odd day here and there, as needed. This is ideal if you need someone to look after your baby or child for you at home, while working, going out for the day or attending a doctor's appointment, etc, or if you are home with your children and just need extra help. I am very professional and can provide nursery aged children with fun activities for both indoors and outdoors, as part of my service. I am in the process of looking into registering with the CSSIW as an approved home child-carer, which is not a legal requirement for this type of child care, but by being an approved home child carer, it does mean that parents who employ me, have the opportunity to claim back some of the childcare costs (if eligible) through the Childcare element of Working Tax Credits.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about my home child carer services.
