My Summary
About Me
About Me Hi, I’m a caring, reliable and approachable person with a strong background in childcare and supporting children’s development. I have experience working in nursery settings, including as a Team Lead, and I’ve also previously worked with Koru Kids, giving me an understanding of the responsibilities and trust that come with caring for children in a family environment. I genuinely enjoy working with children and building positive relationships with them. I believe every child is different, and I like taking the time to understand their personality, interests and individual needs. I’m particularly passionate about helping children feel heard and comfortable expressing themselves, while creating an environment where they feel safe, supported and encouraged. I’m confident supporting children with their daily routines, school runs, meals, homework, creative activities and play. I enjoy getting involved rather than simply supervising, whether that’s playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, exploring outdoors or helping them discover something new. I’m naturally patient and calm, but I’m also fun, energetic and playful. I understand that children need boundaries and consistency, while also having the freedom to be themselves and enjoy their time. I currently work for HMRC, which has further developed my professionalism, organisation, reliability and communication skills. I take responsibility seriously and understand how important it is for parents to feel completely comfortable and confident when leaving their children in my care. Ultimately, I want children to feel safe, valued and listened to around me. I hope to be someone they can trust, have fun with and feel comfortable being themselves around.
My Experience
I’ve worked 40 hours in a nursery looking after children I’ve had experience with children from 7months - 4 years in nurseries. I’ve also have experience in babysitting from 2-7 months and I have younger family members where I’ve also taken great care of who are now 7 years. Main responsibility are taking care of their health and wellbeing, making sure they’re fed cleaned and satisfied. Also keeping children happy and entertained.
I am a dedicated and reflective childcare professional with strong experience in leading teams and supporting children’s development in early years settings. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, nurturing, and consistent environment where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. I have a natural ability to build trusting relationships with children, particularly in the early stages of development, ensuring their emotional wellbeing is always prioritised alongside their learning. Through my experience as a Team Lead in both nursery and retail environments, I have developed confident leadership skills, allowing me to guide and support colleagues while maintaining high standards of care and practice. I am passionate about understanding children’s behaviour beyond the surface, recognising that all behaviour is a form of communication. This allows me to respond with empathy, patience, and effective strategies that support positive outcomes. I am highly organised, reliable, and committed to continuous self-development. I take pride in reflecting on my practice to ensure I am always improving and providing the best possible care. My long-term goal is to continue progressing into leadership roles where I can make a meaningful difference not only in children’s lives but also in supporting and developing strong teams. Ultimately, I am driven by a genuine passion to be the support for children that I did not have growing up, and I bring that purpose into my work every day.
