My Summary

My Experience

I have worked with children and young people aged 0–16 across a wide range of settings, giving me a strong understanding of different developmental stages and family needs:

-Nurseries & Early Years (0–5) – caring for babies and toddlers, supporting feeding, sleep routines, and early development through play, stories and structured activities.

-Teaching Assistant (Primary & Secondary Schools) – supporting pupils in the classroom, helping with literacy and numeracy, encouraging engagement in lessons, and providing one-to-one or small group support. I also assisted with homework, learning routines, and pastoral care, ensuring children felt safe and supported within school life.

-After-School & Holiday Clubs – planning and delivering a variety of fun, safe and engaging activities for children of different ages. This included sports, crafts, outdoor play and group games, as well as supporting mealtimes, building friendships and creating a positive environment where every child could enjoy themselves.

-SEND Support – experience working with children with special educational needs and disabilities, adapting activities and approaches to meet individual needs and help every child thrive.

-Youth Work – mentoring and empowering young people, building trusting relationships, and supporting them with their social, emotional and educational challenges.

-Parent Assessment Unit – working closely with families in challenging circumstances, supporting parents with routines, safeguarding, and providing hands-on childcare to ensure children’s wellbeing.

-Mental Health Support Team (MHST) – supporting children in schools with low to moderate mental health needs, promoting emotional wellbeing, delivering targeted interventions, and working alongside staff and families.

-Multi-Agency Collaboration – experience working with schools, local authorities and other professionals to achieve the best outcomes for children and families.

These roles have strengthened my safeguarding knowledge, emotional intelligence and adaptability. They have also given me the skills to build strong, supportive relationships with both children and parents, always aiming to go above and beyond in the care I provide.

My Availability

I currently work as a SEND Teaching Assistant in a private school in Worcester, with hours from 8:15 am to 4:15 pm. I am available for after-school care during term time and full-time care during school holidays. Please get in touch to discuss holiday availability, as private school breaks are much longer than standard term holidays. Occasionally, overnight care can also be provided.

My Fees

• Nannying from £15.00 per hour (gross)

My rates are £15–£24 per hour, depending on the role and level of responsibility. This reflects my experience and the kindness, energy and emotional warmth I bring to every role. I am committed to going above and beyond to support the children and families I work with, and I’m always happy to discuss individual needs, including hours, number of children and specific responsibilities.
