My Summary
About Me
Hi everybody, I'm Steph (35). I am based in Nottingham. I drive, so location isn't an issue. I'm a caring, colourful, creative and friendly person, with a genuine love for the uniqueness of every child and the wonderful experiences that can be shared.
My Experience
Between 2012 and 2016, I worked for a number of families (on a live in basis), as a nanny. My first live in job was with two children in Holland (aged 18 months (G) and 5 years (G) ). I stayed with the family for 14 months and we're still in regular contact. I also had two other live in nanny roles during this period of time, both in London, where I supported families with 2 children each ages ranging from 2 years up to 9 years of age. In all of these jobs, duties included all aspects of child care (sole charge) and school drop off and pick ups for the older children. In these live in roles, I was in some ways 'part of the family', but boundaries were really important in terms of respecting one another's privacy. Alongside my live in roles, I have often supported families with more casual childcare on an ad-hoc basis e.g. evenings and weekends. I believe that trust and relationships are central to any working relationship, especially where children are involved. I have a passion for creativity and I love to bring fun to the children that I work with.
In January 2014, I went over to Malawi as a community volunteer with International Citizens Service. The project focused on working with local Malawians on various projects to improve the standard and quality of education in a rural nursery school. We attended nursery sessions and worked alongside local people to improve the children's facilities. This project only heightened my interest in working with children longer term.
More recently, for the past 6 years, I have been working as a full time primary school teacher. I have a passion for learning and discovering and this is something that I love to encourage in the little ones in my care. I recently left full time teaching to pursue my training as a children's play therapist. My current training fits wholly with my ethos of valuing 'the whole' child.
My Qualifications
I studied fine art as my undergraduate degree, followed a few years later by my PGCE in Primary Education. I am currently completing my Post-graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play, building up to becoming a qualified play therapist. I have a full DBS certificate as well as safeguarding qualifications. I also have a level 2 certificate in understanding adverse childhood experiences.
My Availability
I am really open and flexible to seeing what opportunities are out there, with a family that I 'match' well with and that feel I am a good 'match' for them. During term time, I am available Wednesday - Friday as well as weekends on a flexible basis. During term time I am not available on Mondays or Tuesdays due to play therapy commitments and some voluntary work that I do with bereaved children.
During school holidays, I am available every day except Mondays :)
