About Me

Hello, my name is Chelsea. I am a caring, reliable, and patient individual with experience supporting children and young people in both educational and home settings. I currently work as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), where I support children and teenagers, including those with additional needs and mental health challenges.

I am passionate about creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and confident. I understand the importance of routines, clear boundaries, and positive communication, and I always aim to meet each child’s individual needs.

I am happy to help with homework, bedtime routines, light household tasks related to childcare, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities. I pride myself on being punctual, trustworthy, and respectful of family values and expectations.

I look forward to supporting families by providing dependable and high-quality childcare they can feel confident in.

My Experience

I have several years of experience working with children across different age groups in both early years and school settings. I previously worked in a nursery, where I supported babies, toddlers, and pre-school children with their daily care, learning, and development. My responsibilities included supporting play-based learning, assisting with feeding, personal care, nap times, and following routines in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Following this, I progressed into my current role as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), where I support children and young people in a school environment. I work with individuals and small groups, including children with additional needs and mental health or emotional challenges. I support learning activities, behaviour management, emotional regulation, and wellbeing, while ensuring safeguarding and child safety at all times.

Across both roles, I have developed strong skills in building positive relationships with children, adapting care to meet individual needs, and working closely with families and professionals. I am confident supporting children of different ages, maintaining routines, and providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment.
