My Summary

My Experience

Although my background is primarily in education and child psychology, I have extensive hands?on experience supporting children and young people in both the UK and India. My work has consistently involved creating safe, nurturing environments, understanding individual needs, and helping children feel regulated, confident, and engaged.

Learning Support Assistant – West Thames College (Feltham, UK)
I provide one?to?one and small?group support to learners with diverse needs, including SEND and EHCP students. This includes helping with emotional regulation, behaviour support, and building independence. I regularly adapt activities, simplify tasks, and offer calm, patient guidance to help young people feel secure and capable.

Teaching Assistant & Educator – Richer Education (London, UK)
I teach children aged 4–18 across subjects such as Science, English, STEAM, and Debating. I design fun, interactive activities, manage behaviour sensitively, and support children with attentional or emotional challenges. This role has strengthened my ability to keep children engaged, safe, and positively supported.

Counsellor & Group Facilitator – DRS International School (Hyderabad, India)
I provided individual and group counselling to children and adolescents, helping them navigate emotions, friendships, and school pressures. I used gentle, evidence?based strategies to support wellbeing, resilience, and confidence — skills that translate directly into calm, responsive childcare.

Assistant Lecturer & Psychology Educator – St. Francis College (Hyderabad, India)
I taught psychology and child development topics, mentored students, and supported their emotional and academic needs. This experience deepened my understanding of behaviour, communication, and developmental stages.

Counselling Psychologist – Manastha Health Solutions (India)
I worked with clients using approaches like CBT and emotional regulation strategies. This background helps me remain patient, composed, and attuned to children’s feelings, especially during moments of distress or uncertainty.

Across all roles, I have consistently supported children and young people with:

Emotional regulation and wellbeing
Behaviour support using gentle, trauma?informed strategies
Clear communication and patient guidance
Creating safe, inclusive environments
Understanding developmental needs and adapting activities accordingly

My psychology training and childcare experience allow me to bring a calm, nurturing, and highly attentive approach to babysitting — ensuring children feel safe, understood, and cared for.

My Qualifications

I hold two Master’s degrees in Psychology, giving me a strong foundation in child development, emotional wellbeing, behaviour support, and safe practice with children and young people.

M.Sc. Child and Adolescent Psychology – University of Greenwich (UK)
This degree focused on how children grow, learn, and regulate emotions. It strengthened my understanding of behaviour, attachment, developmental milestones, trauma?informed practice, and safeguarding. I also achieved an 85% dissertation score, reflecting my strong academic performance.

M.Sc. Applied Psychology (Counselling Psychology) – St. Francis College (India)
This qualification trained me in counselling skills, emotional support strategies, therapeutic communication, and evidence?based approaches like CBT, REBT, and emotional regulation techniques. These skills help me stay calm, patient, and supportive with children, especially during moments of distress.

B.A. in Mass Communication, English Literature, and Psychology
This combination strengthened my communication skills, creativity, and ability to explain concepts clearly — all of which help me connect with children in a warm, engaging way.
