My Summary

My Experience

I have been a Primary School Teacher for 5 years, with my last teaching job being an Additional Support Needs Teacher. I have recently taken up a job working for the NHS as a clinical support worker.

I am passionate about promoting and supporting the development of the social, emotional and mental well-being of children.

I volunteered as a helper with the Handicapped Children’s Pilgrimage Trust and accompanied the group for a week-long pilgrimage to Lourdes, where I worked with profoundly handicapped children. This was a particularly inspiring experience.

I worked as a live-in au pair in Barcelona for a family with three young children, where I built a lifelong bond with my Spanish family, while also developing some Spanish language skills.

I am a Qualified Mindfulness Teacher; mindfulness allows us to achieve awareness of the present moment, using the breath as an anchor for concentration while calmly acknowledging and accepting rising thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Through time and practice, people should be able to observe such thoughts without experiencing the accompanying emotional distress. This form of therapy has proven to be highly successful in adults and as a result there is a rising interest in developing and adapting mindfulness-based interventions to suit the needs of children.

If you are interested in a babysitter or a private tutor, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
