My Summary
About Me
I’m an ex primary school teacher available for up to 12 hours a week or as a back up baby sitter for a family needing support.
I love children, I enjoy reading with them, working on projects/arts and crafts and would be happy to take them to a local park or to daily commitments. Experienced in sensory play, music and building routines.
I have worked for many years with children with learning difficulties and/or additional needs including ASD and ADHD, speech and language delay or those who speak English as an additional language.
I can also offer private tutoring or confidence building for specific subjects, or parent consultations for those with young autistic children who need a bit of extra support understanding autism.
