My Summary

My Experience

I have over four years of professional experience in childcare and art education, working with children of different ages and learning needs.
My background includes teaching art to children and teenagers, helping them express themselves through creative activities such as drawing, painting, and imaginative play.
I have also worked in cultural and educational environments, including libraries and book events for children, where I supported reading sessions, storytelling, and creative workshops.
Additionally, I have collaborated with illustrators and artists in children’s book associations, gaining valuable insight into creative learning and visual storytelling for young audiences.
I also have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, providing patient, understanding, and personalised care to help them thrive emotionally and socially.
My approach focuses on creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where every child can learn, grow, and build confidence.
