My Summary

My Experience

I am experienced in working with children up to the end of Year 6. I have been working as a qualified teacher since September 2021, having worked in schools as a Teaching Assistant for four years previously. Prior to this, I have been a Rainbows (Girl Guides) Unit Leader and have experience babysitting and a short term nanny placement.

I am now wanting to bring my experience to working more closely, and for longer, with individual children as a nanny. Throughout my teaching career, I've supported children with a wide range of needs, including helping children with SEN obtain EHCPs and being responsible for administering medical interventions for children with diabetes, asthma, ITP and severe allergies. All children in my care receive respect, love, kindness and fun! I encourage kindness and respect towards others and strongly believe in celebrating positive behaviour. I take a holistic, child-centred approach and believe every child deserves equal opportunities to learn, grow and feel safe and loved. I use positive reinforcement, responding thoughtfully rather than reacting to challenging situations. My most recent teaching role was as the Early Years Lead at my school, where I was responsible for a cohort of 90 children. This was a rewarding challenge that gave me extensive experience and opportunities to grow. I am passionate about early childhood development and feel that the child-led approach is transferrable across all ages, I'm confident following a child's curiosity wherever it leads!
