My Summary
About Me
I am a confident, caring and reliable childcare professional with over a decade of experience working with children, including those with special educational needs and complex family backgrounds. With a strong academic background in Child Health and Wellbeing (Level 5 and BA Hons), I have worked across nurseries, schools, Sure Start centres and social support settings. My experience spans EYFS delivery, one-to-one SEN support, safeguarding leadership, family liaison and supervision, and pastoral team management. I’m passionate about creating nurturing environments where all children can thrive.
