My Summary
About Me
My current availability -
I am currently available for occasional babysitting on the weekend and I also have availability for any additional support needed/ babysitting for a full week in August from the 4th to the 8th.
Hello, my name is Sophie Jackson and I am 25 years old.
I started my childcare career at a forest school; this has shaped me into the practitioner I am today, and I am very passionate about this style of learning.
I love to be outside, getting stuck into activities while, getting covered in the mud alongside the children and learning through fun and engaging activities.
I am a true believer that there is no inappropriate weather!
I will often be seen jumping in muddy puddles, dancing in the rain, and playing in the snow alongside the children I care for.
My unique approach has been developed by my many years working in outdoor settings and as a forest school lead myself.
I encourage using forest school tools, making fires and risk taking; allowing children to create their own magical experiences.
I have experience working for multiple children a day, while supporting each of their individual needs and supporting a healthy lifestyle.
I have an exceptional understanding of safeguarding and how to ensure I'm providing a safe service from my experience as a deputy manager.
I have also worked as a carer where we provided specialist care and support for individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs, which may have included challenging behaviours. Working at a residential care home I developed fundamental skills and attributes that have ensured a high level of care and understanding for supporting others with learning disabilities.

I am on the DBS up to date service, Paediatric first aid trained, level 3 safeguarding, level 2 food hygiene and have a certificate in incisive Communication Universal Training for Early years practitioners.
I have worked in a variety of settings and services allowing me to build a variety of skills and knowledge.
