My Summary
About Me
I’m an experienced childcare professional with over 4 years experience working in a variety of settings with children aged 0-13. I have a strong creative background, holding a degree in textile design, which I love bringing into my work through arts and crafts, sensory activities, and messy play. I enjoy designing engaging games, encouraging outdoor exploration, and planning exciting trips out. Recently, I’ve been learning circus skills and how to make giant bubbles.
My approach to childcare is all about child-led play: I take time to get to know each child’s unique interests and support them in building confidence, creativity, and independence. Most of all, I believe in having fun together and creating a joyful, positive atmosphere where children can thrive.
I’m certified in pediatric first aid and food safety, and I enjoy cooking healthy, nourishing meals.
My Experience
My 4+ years of childcare experience has primarily been as a playworker at an after-school club, supporting primary school-aged children in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I’ve also worked across a variety of settings through a temp agency—including nurseries, crèches, and babysitting—for children aged 0 to 13, giving me a broad understanding of different age groups and developmental needs.
My Qualifications
I have a BA Hons in Textile Design. I am currently awaiting starting an SVQ in Playwork with my after school club employer.

Weekday mornings between 8am and 1pm. Apart from Tuesdays when I am at university.
