My Summary

My Experience

Immediately after graduating University, I worked as a Learning Support Assistant at a secondary school in Manchester. I worked closely with year 7 (age 11) students with SEND. I also supported children who had English as an additional language. For this role, I completed in depth safeguarding training.

For 4 years, I worked in a kids club as a playworker in the school holidays. The children who attended were aged between 4-12. My main duties included: facilitating play, reading to the children, cleaning, providing snacks, basic first aid, and dealing with behavioural problems.

As a teenager, I babysat regularly for a family of 3 children and a family of 2 children, as well as as hoc babysitting for other local families. My responsibilities mainly included helping with homework, reading to the children, helping with any pastoral issues, and putting them to bed.

As a student, I mentored voluntarily in 2 local secondary schools. This involved supporting the children (aged between 11-14) with both social and academic issues. Lots of these kids struggled with behavioural issues so it could be tricky at times but it was so rewarding.

Most recently, I lived and worked in Spain as an Aupair for a family with 2 children. This was a really interesting experience and a great mixture of cultural and childcare related learning!
