My Summary
About Me
I am an extremely bubbly and outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people and building new relationships. I am a caring and loving individual which allows me to build great relationships with young people and children. I have great communication and listening skills which assist me with any problems that may occur. I am an organised individual who excels on my time management skills as I am always on time! I am calm and caring and always willing to help out wherever needed.
My Experience
I have just graduated from Northumbria University with a high 2:1 in Childhood and Early Years education.
During my degree I was placed into a Nursery for 3 months which allowed me to build experience with young children and babies. Day to day activities such as playing with them, singing songs, feeding each child and understanding their dietary requirements. Meeting parents and building successful relationships with them. Working well on a team which enables a successful service for the children. Bonding with each child and building caring relationships with them.
I also did two years placement in college which was in a primary school. I was placed into year 1 and 2. The day to day activities differed to those in my previous placement stated above, as the day was more structured due to it being within a school. My role was to help children with their school activities such as English, maths, music, and play. I feel that play is an extremely effective way of allowing a child to develop as it improves their cognitive and social well being. Playing with other children allows them to create bonds and healthy relationships. I also assisted children with their reading as I took small groups to a quiet room and we read together. I built very good relationships with parents and staff as I was in this school for two years.
I also volunteered at rainbows for a year during my Duke of Edinburgh at school. This room place on Monday evenings with around 15 young girls. The activities that took place were arts and crafts, cooking, dancing, and overall creating an enjoyable and happy environment for the children.
I have also babysat for different families from the age of 15 during evenings. However, as I got older my part time job took over which meant I wasn’t available as much.
Working from the age of 15-20 in an ice cream parlour/ cafe meant I was meeting a lot of new people everyday. Customers were mainly families with young children which meant I was able to provide a kind and sufficient service to them. I would always ensure I was communicating with the children by asking what flavour they wanted, if they’ve had a nice time, what size etc. If any children were any upset or crying I would do my upmost to ensure that if I could help I would. An example of this would be handing them little key rings or sprinklers whilst they waited for their order to be taken.
