My Summary
About Me
I'm Elysia, 30 years of age and a mum of 2. I've learnt most, gained more knowledge and experience from being a mum myself.
Based in Wittersham, I offer a unique, enriching, and safe learning environment on my own land, featuring woodland, a pond, den built by my children, climbing frame, fairy house, tree swings, a learning circle, lots of wildlife, plus our black lab Chester and Cat Bramble.
The perfect classroom for children to learn, grow, build confidence, and most importantly, use their imagination.
I am a caring, trustworthy, and easy-to-get-along-with person who is both creative indoors and out. I have a real passion for working with children outdoors, as I believe it fundamentally helps them build confidence and self-esteem while achieving EYFS milestones through fun, active, play-based learning. Also, keeping that imagination alive!
My Experience
Experienced and empathetic person with 10+ years of diverse experience across all ages (6 weeks to 9 years), specializing in complex and special needs care. My background includes 2.5 years in a Forest School Nursery, forest school clubs, home-schooling, live-in/out nanny roles requiring exceptional flexibility (including late-night hours). Many babysitting jobs, one for twins, while their parents went away to South Africa, looking after the children and home.
I have significant expertise supporting children with severe autism, chronic illness (leukaemia), and Epilepsy, working with medical professionals to ensure a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. I am deeply dedicated to fostering growth, creativity, and a love for the outdoors, driven by a personal passion for caring for others.
My Qualifications
I like to keep up to date with any industry changes and refresh my skills and knowledge.
