About Me
Hi, I’m Fran! I am a friendly, approachable, and flexible individual based in Plymouth. I hold a First Class Honours degree in Psychology from the University of Plymouth and have extensive experience working with children of all ages, including special educational needs.
In my free time, I love being active—whether it’s swimming, playing tennis and badminton, or enjoying a day at the beach. I also cherish spending time with my friends and family.
Services Offered:
• Babysitting and childcare focused on educational development
• Private tutoring in English, Maths, Science, Drama, Psychology and SEN support for Primary, Secondary and A-Levels
• Bilingual support for Portuguese-speaking students or those with English as an Additional Language
My Experience
I bring a wealth of experience in childcare and education, ensuring that your child receives the best possible support.
Currently, as a Teaching & Learning Assistant in a Special Needs School, I support individualised learning activities for students with complex social, emotional, and learning needs.
Previously, working as a Support Worker in a homeless hostel, I assisted adult clients in making positive life choices and developing support plans to ensure their safety and well-being.
At Tops Days Nursery, I worked as a Casual Nursery Practitioner, creating engaging activities that promoted cognitive, physical, and emotional growth, while supervising playtime and assisting with personal care.
My role as an Educational Psychology Assistant with Plymouth City Council involved working with children aged 3 to 15, conducting one-on-one sessions, and supporting those in alternative provisions.
I have also volunteered with the Chard Covid Support Group, providing grocery deliveries to elderly and vulnerable adults, and with The Elder Tree, visiting and supporting vulnerable older adults to alleviate loneliness.
These diverse experiences have honed my skills in communication, empathy, and adaptability, enabling me to create an inclusive and supportive environment for every child and young person.
