About Me

I am a kind and compassionate person who has a love for working with children of all ages. I have my own little girl who is 6 months old and I adore being in an environment where I can help children thrive. I also have 2 younger sisters, 5 and 10. I am a creative and loving person and I love doing activities with the children from getting involved in messy play to reading together! I have the most experience with children 0-6 but have also worked with children up to the age of 10. I do not drive or own my own car but I can easily get to Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and surrounding areas! I also have professional experience working in childcare including being a teaching assistant and a SEND support worker. I have lots of SEND experience working with children with autism and other additional needs and I can easily cater to the needs of each individual child and their likes and dislikes. Please feel free to message me with any questions at all. I am a very friendly person and I can't wait to get to know you and your family!

My Experience

I have years of hands-on experience with childcare and have studied in college for my childcare qualification. Having two younger siblings and now having my own 6 month old baby girl has given me a love for caring for children and working with children to help them thrive. The past year I have been working as a teaching assistant in a primary school, supporting children in their learning and development, and I have also worked in a SEND primary school as a support worker for children with additional needs. I have many essential qualities for childcare, such as empathy, patience, great communication, flexibility and creativity to help make an engaging environment for children of all ages. Along with my practical experience, I also have a Level 2 Diploma in Early Years, which has taught me so much about child care and children's development. Above all, my genuine love for working with children continues to motivate me to create positive, safe, and encouraging environments where every child can thrive.

My Qualifications

I am a qualified early years practitioner with a level 2 early years practitioner qualification
I have GCSE qualifications which include English language, English literature, sociology and geography.
I have also completed safeguarding training on multiple occasions.

My Availability

I am available 7 days a week with some notice as I am very flexible currently being on maternity leave.
Hours that I am available to work include 8.45am - 10pm but these times can vary. I am also available for weekend babysitting and for special events. I am unable to do overnight work or past 11.30pm unfortunately due to having my own little one.
