My Summary

My Experience

With over 7 years of professional childcare experience, I offer a unique blend of nursery expertise and 1:1 Special Educational Needs (SEN) support. My background includes three years at a specialist primary school, where I specialized in supporting children with ASD, ADHD, and Down Syndrome using tools like PECS and Attention Autism. I have also worked extensively in nursery settings, managing routines for children from 6 months to 4 years old. As a mum to a 4 year old myself, I understand the importance of a nurturing, safe environment. Whether we are baking, exploring the outdoors, or engaging in sensory play, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, reliable care tailored to your child's needs.

My Qualifications

My professional qualifications combine formal education with extensive, specialist training gained in both nursery and SEN school settings. I hold 7 GCSEs (including English, Maths, and Science) and a Level 2 in Health and Social Care (Merit). Beyond my academic background, I have completed advanced, hands-on training in Advanced Safeguarding, Makaton, and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). My expertise includes Attention Autism, Sensory Play, and Intensive Interaction, which I utilized daily to support children with complex needs like ASD, ADHD, and Down Syndrome. This clinical and educational training, paired with my experience managing Early Years routines and positive behavior techniques, allows me to provide highly skilled, inclusive, and safe care for children of all abilities.
