My Summary

My Experience

I have four years experience working in a primary school, where I supported children across a range of ages, including those with additional needs. During this time, I worked closely with children who needed extra emotional support, and I developed strong skills in building trust, supporting regulation and creating a calm, consistent environment. I particularly loved working with children who needed a little more patience and understanding to feel safe and confident.

Alongside my school experience, I have also worked in childminding and babysitting roles, caring young children in home environments. This has given me hands on experience with routines, feeding, sleep, play based learning and supporting early development.

On a personal level, I grew up in a big family and have always been very involved in caring for younger relatives, including babies and toddlers. I also have personal experience supporting my brother who has additional needs, which has given me a deeper understanding of patience, advocacy and the importance of emotional safety and consistency.

Overall, I bring both professional experience and lived understanding to my work with children. I am calm, nurturing and emotionally aware, and I genuinely care about helping children feel secure, understood and confident in themselves.

My Qualifications

While I do not hold formal childcare qualifications, I have four years professional experience working within a primary school setting, supporting children across different ages and needs.

During this time, I completed relevant training including Paediatric First Aid, safeguarding and child protection, and SEN focused courses. I have also received training around behaviour support and working with children with additional needs, alongside hands on experience supporting emotional regulation and development in a structured setting.

My experience, combined with my practical childminding work and personal background supporting children in a large family, has given me strong, real world childcare skills grounded in both professional training and lived understanding

My Availability

I am currently in full-time employment and would require four weeks notice before starting a new role.

I am looking to relocate to Manchester, so this will need to be factored into my start date. I am happy to discuss timelines with the right family to ensure a smooth and well planned transition.

I am ideally seeking a 30 hour per week position, Monday to Friday, and am open to discussing specific hours depending on the needs of the family.
