About Me

Compassionate, reliable, and highly experienced childcare and support professional with over 10 years of hands on experience caring for children aged newborn to 18. As the firstborn of six siblings, I naturally grew into a nurturing role supporting my younger brothers and sisters with daily routines, homework, emotional regulation, and developmental milestones. I have also cared for younger cousins and frequently babysat neighbors’ children, strengthening my ability to manage diverse personalities and needs.
My professional background spans teaching assistance, psychology, domiciliary care, youth mentoring, and SEN support. I bring a calm, patient, and structured approach to childcare, with strong skills in behavior management, autism support, creative learning, and building safe, trusting relationships. Passionate about helping children feel secure, confident, and valued.

My Qualifications

I am a highly qualified childcare and support professional with a strong blend of academic training, practical experience, and specialist skills. I am currently pursuing a MSc in Psychology(conversion) which gives me a deep understanding of child development, behavior, emotional regulation, and learning needs. I have completed accredited training in Safeguarding, Infection Control, Basic Life Support, Medication Awareness, Dementia and Mental Health Awareness, and Manual Handling.
As the firstborn of six siblings, I gained extensive hands on childcare experience from a young age, caring for babies, toddlers, and school aged children. I have also babysat for neighbors and supported younger cousins, strengthening my ability to manage routines, support learning, and create a safe, nurturing environment.
Professionally, I have worked with children in teaching support, youth mentoring, Sunday school teaching, and children’s home volunteering. I have strong experience supporting autistic children and those with behavioral, emotional, or social challenges. My background in counselling and coaching further enhances my ability to provide calm, patient, and emotionally attuned care.
I bring a reliable, organized, and compassionate approach to childcare, with strong skills in behavior management, SEN support, creative play, routine management, and building positive, trusting relationships with children and families.
