My Summary

My Experience

My Experience Working in Early Years Care

I have worked full-time at Busy Bees Nursery, completing 40 hours per week caring for children aged 0–3, including babies and children with additional needs. My role involved:
• Supporting meal times (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
• Helping children settle for naps
• Providing personal care, including regular nappy changes
• Creating safe, engaging play activities
• Supporting early learning through stories, songs, colours, and shape recognition

I loved finding creative ways to make the children feel safe and happy—setting up water play with soft toys, creating a “car park” with tape for toy cars, or using simple games to support early development.

One of my favourite moments was helping a little boy in my group, Arthur, say his first word-like sound. He mimicked a dog one afternoon, and seeing how proud and excited he was reminded me why I love working with children.

My Background as a Young Carer

Alongside nursery work, I am a young carer for my older brother, who is autistic and disabled. I help him with personal hygiene and daily routines, which has strengthened my:
• Patience
• Compassion
• Ability to remain calm under pressure
• Understanding of additional needs

These experiences naturally shape the way I support children—ensuring they feel understood, respected, and cared for.
