My Summary

My Experience

Although I’m newer to formal childcare roles, I have hands-on experience supporting children in a variety of settings. I’ve delivered group gym training sessions for primary-aged children and worked one-on-one with a 13-year-old on strength and confidence building. I also spent over a year regularly babysitting a non-verbal 4-year-old boy, which helped me develop personalised communication tools, such as colour-coded cards and sensory routines, to support his needs.

As a sergeant in the Air Cadets, I was affectionately nicknamed "Mother Goose" for the way I cared for and supported younger cadets with SEN, a role I took great pride in. These experiences have built my confidence in adapting to each child’s individual personality, needs, and comfort zone.
