My Summary

My Experience

i have a level 5 early education and childcare qualification. other than this i became the guardian to my younger siblings when i was 18 and I’m very much experienced and childcare and babies. I was a support worker for years and i worked with people with special needs including my cousin who i cared for for a year who had cerebral palsy.

My Qualifications

I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care as well as a Level 5 qualification in Early Education and Childcare, equipping me with a strong theoretical and practical foundation for supporting individuals across a wide range of ages and needs. My hands-on experience is extensive and deeply rooted in both personal and professional care roles.

I have worked as a Support Worker for several years, specialising in the care of individuals with special needs, where I provided compassionate, person-centred support tailored to individual care plans. Since the age of 16, I have also worked on and off in care home settings, gaining valuable experience in elderly care and palliative support.

Beyond formal employment, I have significant personal caregiving experience. I served as a guardian to my younger siblings, ensuring their wellbeing and development in challenging circumstances. I also provided full-time care for my cousin with cerebral palsy for a year, as well as caring for both of my grandparents, supporting them with daily activities, medication, and emotional support.

These combined experiences have given me deep empathy, strong communication skills, and a flexible, resilient approach to care work. I am committed to promoting dignity, independence, and quality of life for all those I support.
