Hi, my name is Maria. I am 19 and have just started at Plymouth University studying Occupational Therapy. For the past two years I have worked at a children's breakfast, after school and holiday club for all primary school aged children. Alongside this, I attended college to study A level Sociology, Health and Social Care and Performing Arts. I also completed extra courses there, which were level 2 and level 3 supporting teaching and learning, emergency first aid and caring for vulnerable children. I love working with children and would love to do it in the future as an occupational therapist. I have much younger siblings and cousins, so I am used to babysitting and doing activities with children of all ages. I am pretty flexible with times around my lectures, and the occasional weekend I may go home to Hampshire, but apart from that I am happy to babysit some weekends in Plymouth too!
