About Me

Hey, I’m Sophie
Currently working as a SEN TA but wanting to transition to childcare for the flexibility and to be closer to home. I am very flexible therefore, as I am building up a client base. My only other commitment is that I’m a listener for the Samaritans, and I have a very flexible rota there where I sign up to whichever shifts work for me.
I am available for school pick ups and drop offs (not by car unfortunately), babysitting at any time of day, and I am happy to help with homework and housework too.
We can have a chat on the phone, and I will also happily come to meet you and your lovely gremlins to see if we will be a good fit first.

My Experience

I have always enjoyed childcare. Whilst at school I babysat as well as coached at a junior badminton club.
After finishing my degree in clinical psychology, I went to Spain to work as a live in nanny and English tutor to a 4 year old.
Currently, I work at a SEN school as a teaching assistant. I love my job, but transport is becoming an issue (I don’t yet have a driving license), so I’m looking to work closer to home. I work with students who have complex needs; I am comfortable with behaviours of distress, following sensory diet plans, and using positive behaviour support plans to keep kids regulated and happy.

My Qualifications

Degree in clinical psychology
Level 2 NVQ in medication handling and administration.
I also studied Spanish, English literature, and psychology at A-level. Also did AS maths and am happy to support children with these subjects

My Availability

I am flexible as I am building a client base as of November
