My Summary

My Experience

I currently work in a nursery, where I spend my days supporting little ones as they learn, play and grow. I also have experience supporting children with additional needs and behavioural needs, which has taught me how important it is to get to know each child and understand that everyone is different.

I actually grew up in a family that fostered children, so I've been around children from different backgrounds and with different experiences from a young age. From the age of 3 until I was 16, there were foster children in our family home, which gave me an appreciation of how important a safe, welcoming and understanding environment can be.

I've also volunteered with Girlguiding for the past two years, helping children enjoy activities, learn new skills and have fun. Before going to university, I spent four years teaching ballet at my dance school to children aged 4–10, which I absolutely loved!

I enjoy getting involved in all sorts of activities, from dancing and crafts to outdoor adventures and imaginative play. Most importantly, I love helping children feel happy, comfortable and confident to be themselves.

My Availability

I currently work in a nursery full-time, with my shifts spread across four days between Monday and Friday. As I receive my rota the week before, I may occasionally be available during the daytime on my weekday off, although this would depend on my shifts.

I'm generally available for evenings after 7pm and have much more flexibility at weekends, including Saturdays and Sundays.

I'm always happy to have a chat about what might work best for your family!
