My Summary

My Experience

I’m a Level 3 qualified nursery practitioner with over two years of placement experience (ages 0–6) although have worked with children up to age 13. I am currently preparing to begin a Primary Teaching degree with a SEND specialism and are eager to further my skills in a different environment. What sets me apart is my emotionally attuned, creative approach to care. I design meaningful play and gentle routines that help children feel safe, seen, and celebrated—especially those with additional needs. I’ve led inclusive activities through Rainbows and have held multiple enhanced DBS checks ( including my current one). Families often tell me I bring a calm, thoughtful presence and a genuine love for helping children grow with confidence and joy. I have supported children with additional needs aswell as children going through bereavement and developmental delays.
