My Summary

My Experience

I have over 10 years of experience caring for and supporting children of different ages and stages of development. My experience began at the age of 17 when I completed a primary school placement working with Reception-aged children. This gave me valuable insight into supporting children’s learning, development, and day-to-day care in an educational setting.

I became a parent at 19, and being a mum has given me extensive hands-on experience in caring for children and understanding their individual needs as they grow and develop.

I have also been a qualified Nurse for the past 6 years, which has strengthened my skills in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care while remaining calm and confident in a variety of situations.

Over the years, I have regularly provided childcare and babysitting for friends and family, further building my experience with children of different ages and personalities. These experiences have helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to create a caring and supportive environment where children feel safe, happy, and valued.

My Qualifications

I hold a BSc in Adult Nursing and have completed a range of professional training courses that support my ability to provide safe, compassionate, and high-quality care. My healthcare background has equipped me with valuable skills that are highly transferable to childcare, ensuring children are cared for in a safe and supportive environment.

My qualifications and training include:

• BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing
• Basic Life Support (BLS)
• Conflict Resolution Training
• Equality, Dignity & Respect Training
• Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training
• Safeguarding Adults – Levels 2 & 3
• Safeguarding Children – Level 2
• Tracheostomy Care Trained
• Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) Trained
