My Summary

DBS Check
First Aid Training

About Me

I am an approachable, organised, and energetic primary teacher who enjoys creating a safe and engaging environment for children. I have a strong understanding of safeguarding and always prioritise children’s wellbeing. I value play-based learning and supporting children’s development through fun and meaningful activities. I build positive relationships quickly and aim to make children feel comfortable and confident. I am reliable, flexible, and committed to providing high-quality care.

My Experience

I am a qualified teacher with over two years’ experience working across EYFS, KS1, and KS2. This has given me a strong understanding of different ages, needs, and stages of development. I have also managed childcare camps during school holidays, planning activities and ensuring children are safe and engaged. Alongside this, I have experience babysitting in a more home-based setting. In total, I have over three years of childcare experience.

My Qualifications

I hold a BA (Hons) in Modern Languages from Swansea University and a PGCE with QTS from Durham University. I have completed multiple safeguarding training courses, including Prevent Awareness. I also hold a Level 2 certification in Understanding Autism. My training supports me in meeting a wide range of children’s needs. I am committed to ongoing professional development.

My Availability

During term time, I am available on weekday evenings from around 4:30/5pm onwards, as well as all day on weekends. During school holidays, I have full availability from Monday to Sunday. I am flexible and happy to discuss regular or ad-hoc bookings. I can accommodate both short-term and longer-term childcare needs. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss what works best.
