My Summary
About Me
I am a friendly, approachable, and highly motivated individual with a natural ability to build positive relationships with both children and adults. With extensive experience supporting children, particularly those with special educational needs (SEN) and behavioural challenges, I bring a calm, patient, and understanding approach to all aspects of care and support.
As a mother to three sons—aged 21, 18, and 14—I have gained valuable insight into the different stages of childhood and adolescence. Now that my children are older and more independent, I am looking to offer my time and skills to support others in need.
I currently work in a primary school Monday to Friday until 1:00 p.m., which allows me availability in the afternoons, evenings, school holidays, and occasional weekends. I hold a full UK driving licence and have my own vehicle, making travel flexible and convenient.
In addition to childcare and support, I am happy to assist with light household tasks and day-to-day chores as needed. I am reliable, compassionate, and eager to make a positive difference wherever I can.
