About Me

Hi! I’m Lucy, and I’ve been working with children since I was 17 — both in formal childcare settings and through babysitting. I’m now nearly 22, and over the past two years I’ve had the amazing opportunity to teach English in Ghana and work in an orphanage in Kenya, focusing on Personal, Social, and Emotional Development (PSED) and general childcare. I’ve recently returned from an 8-month trip combining both of these roles, which has been an incredible experience.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, baking, shopping, and being with friends and family. I’m also a big animal lover and enjoy visiting animal rescues, zoos, and sanctuaries whenever I can.

I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for the children I care for, and I’m always ready to bring energy, patience, and creativity to every role.

My Experience

I began my childcare career as bank staff, working across all rooms and age groups while completing my Health and Social Care qualification. After qualifying, I moved into a full-time role while studying for my Level 3 Childcare qualification. Over the past year, I’ve specialised in the baby room, gaining extensive experience with children aged 3–18 months.

I became a toddler room leader in November 2023, a role I held until February 2025. During this time, I successfully led the room, supported staff, and ensured a high standard of care and education for the children. I left the position to pursue my passion for teaching and to take on a new experience working in Kenya.

I have recently returned from an 8-month trip teaching in Ghana and working in an orphanage in Kenya, where I supported children’s Personal, Social, and Emotional Development (PSED) alongside general childcare. I am now starting a casual contract in a new setting while I complete my university degree in Childhood, Youth, and Education Studies at Coventry University. My future goal is to complete PGCEs in Health Care, Childcare, and Food Technology, enabling me to teach in secondary schools and colleges.
