My Summary
About Me
Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and creative individual with hands-on experience working with children, including those with special needs. While I don’t have formal childcare qualifications, I’ve gained valuable experience helping my mum care for a young boy with special needs over several years. He connected with me easily, and I was always happy to support him with everyday tasks and activities.
I’ve also worked in a cookery school where I helped groups of children—including those with special needs—learn to cook, explore creativity, and build confidence in the kitchen. This experience taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of making learning fun.
In addition to childcare, I run a small baking and nail business, and I love bringing creativity into everything I do. I’d be more than happy to share my love of cooking and baking with the kids I look after—whether it’s baking cookies together or helping them develop new skills in a fun, safe environment.
I’m passionate about creating a calm, positive space where children feel supported, engaged, and happy. I look forward to bringing that energy into any family I work with!
My Experience
I have hands-on experience supporting my mum in caring for a young boy with special needs over several years. I regularly helped with his daily routines, engaged him in activities, and built a strong, trusting bond with him. He responded very well to me, and I became a consistent and calming presence in his day.
In addition, I worked at a cookery school for children, where I supported both neurotypical children and those with special needs. My role involved helping with group activities, ensuring safety in the kitchen, and encouraging children to get involved and have fun while learning. This setting helped me develop a calm, patient, and creative approach to working with kids of different ages and abilities.
My Qualifications
“No formal childcare qualifications, but I have hands-on experience working with children, including those with special needs.”
