My Summary
About Me
I am a nurturing and enthusiastic childcare professional with over a decade of experience supporting children’s development in a variety of settings. I am passionate about creating safe, engaging, and inspiring environments where children can thrive, explore, and reach their full potential. I love spending time outdoors, encouraging play and discovery through nature, and I bring a creative touch to childcare with activities such as music and story workshops. With a solid understanding of the Curriculum for Excellence, Realising the Ambition, and developmental milestones, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s individual needs while encouraging curiosity and independence.
My Experience
I have 10 years’ experience working with children, including 5 years as a nanny, 10 years as a babysitter, and 3 years in a nursery environment. In addition, I have delivered music and story workshops for 1 year, combining creativity with early learning to make activities both fun and educational. My experience spans caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, with a focus on fostering positive routines, supporting learning, and building strong relationships with families. I draw on my knowledge of different pedagogies to provide a balanced and child-centred approach, ensuring that children not only feel safe and cared for but also stimulated and challenged in their daily activities.
My Qualifications
I hold a BA in Education Studies with Distinction and I am an Early Years Practitioner, fully qualified to support children across key stages of development. My professional training includes an HND in Childhood Practice (Grade A), an HND in Sport Coaching with Development of Sport, and an SVQ Level 7 in Forest Kindergarten, which underpins my love of outdoor learning. I also hold a Paediatric First Aid Certificate (in-person training) and have completed Makaton Level 1 to enhance communication with children of all abilities. My strong academic background, combined with hands-on experience, gives me a well-rounded understanding of children’s needs, making me confident in providing exceptional childcare tailored to each family.
