I am a mum of two children under 8 and love in the Greenwich borough. Caring for children has been my passion since I was only a young child myself, because of this I went straight from school to college to complete my Level 3 and have worked within childcare since the age of 16, on a voluntary bases with my qualification and in paid work since the age of 18, as soon as I left college.
I enjoy being outside and keeping very busy! I am very organised within my work and will have a daily plan of what we would do written down to show parents what their little ones have been doing and would also be happy to complete some level of observation and learning goals planning if the family would like me to. I am also good at working with the unexpected and going with the flow, if that's what the parents would prefer. I aim to be in sync with the families wishes at all times.
At college I worked as a mother's help, with 5 month old twins And a 20 month old (And am still in contact with the family now), which also led to babysitting for them on occasions. I also worked as a nursery assistant, a year 2 teaching assistant and a teaching assistant in a DSP unit within a mainstream school . From there I went to work as a temporary nanny, which actually led to a years job with the family and returning to work for the for one summer also, the children where a premature baby, just born, a 3 year old and a 5 year old. I have also worked as a child practitioner in 2 day nurseries and most recently worked as a child and family practitioner in a children's centre working with under 5's and within the nursery for the together for two's programme.
