About Me

I am a dependable Higher Level Teaching Assistant and Emotional Literacy Support Assistant. Fifteen years experience of working with children aged birth to 11 years. Alongside this, I am a mum of 3 grown up girls and a nanna to my beautiful 8 week old granddaughter. Excited to apply passion and fun for working with children to develop happy, strong, confident, and independent individuals.
Currently based via block contract work in an Alternate Resource Provision within an excellent primary school. I am SEND trained and have always leaned towards SEND and EYFS during my 18+ years of working in schools.
Early Years trained and I wholeheartedly believe in children learning through play and sensory play from a birth onwards. I am dedicated to fostering enriching, safe, and inclusive environments where children from birth can thrive.
Skilled in implementing early childhood frameworks, I excel at designing play-based learning experiences tailored to unique individual needs, ultimately helping every child build a strong foundation.

My Experience

Well-versed in child development theories and various teaching philosophies. Qualified Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) accomplished in creating nurturing environments when implementing emotional and pastoral educational programs. Offers 1-1 and small group work to help build self esteem and positive self hood.
My formal training over the years has provided me with a deep understanding of child development, positive relationship-building, and the statutory safeguarding requirements necessary to ensure child welfare.
Experienced in creating friendly, positive and inspiring learning environment, employing routine and emotional support to facilitate interaction.
Successfully assessed neurodivergent pupils within learning environments to determine and produce appropriate learning action plans for their unique development.
Worked with students in small groups and 1:1 to provide additional support with social activities and lessons.
