About Me
Hello! My name is Barbara but my nickname is Bee, I am based in folkestone, Kent. I have worked in childcare for 7 years and have a level 3 childcare diploma, I am first aid trained and have a full up to date DBS. I love doing arts and crafts, music is also one of my biggest passions I love to sing and make my own songs. I believe children learn through play so I always try my best to make things fun and interesting for them. I am looking for a lovely family based in folkestone who could use the extra support.
My Experience
After leaving St Edmunds Canterbury with passes in 5 GCSE’s I enrolled in Canterbury College in 2019. There, I studied childcare and child development. Childcare has always been a passionate interest and I passed the course in Canterbury College with flying colours. During this time I started my first nannying role doing school drop off and pick up, cooking dinner and and doing bed time. At college I learned about appropriate planning and organisation in relation to the EYFS (early years foundation stage). I am also familiar with Development Matters and how it can be used for effective planning. I enjoyed every moment of the course. During lockdown from March 2020, I lived at home in Folkestone, tutoring a seven year old and a five year old as they were learning remotely. I also continued my own studies remotely. In 2021 I moved to Bristol where I studied a foundation year in primary education. I also began my first job in a nursery in Bristol; working in the nursery as well as studying. After leaving Bristol I moved to Brighton where I worked in several nurseries and schools, looking after children from 4 months to 11 years. I learned so much in this time about children and there learning. Since moving back to folkestone I have done a little bit of nannying and babysitting here and there but i am looking for something a little bit more consistent.
