My Summary
Zen Kids
About Me
My mission at Zen Kids is to provide a fun and enriching experience for children. I live at my home with my toddler, 3 cats and dog called Boomer. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore mindfulness, relaxation, and creativity through a range of activities such as yoga, meditation, arts and crafts, and outdoor games. My focus on promoting healthy and sustainable practices, including healthy food options and eco-friendly activities, aims to foster a sense of responsibility and respect for ourselves and the environment. I am committed to supporting children's physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and to helping them develop lifelong skills for a happy and balanced life.
My Experience
I bring over a decade of teaching experience, having taught in both Europe and Asia, with a strong background in ESL education. My career includes serving as a Head Teacher at several nurseries, as well as teaching across a range of age groups, from early years to secondary school. I have dedicated many years to early years education, fostering young children's development and providing them with a strong foundation for their learning journey. My diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to create engaging, supportive, and nurturing environments for children of all ages.
My Qualifications
I possess a comprehensive range of qualifications and training that equip me to provide exceptional care and education as a childminder. My certifications include advanced safeguarding (Level 3), health and safety management, and specialized training for working with children with SEND and ASN. I hold diplomas in Mental Health and Educational Psychology.
With international experience, I have completed advanced TEFL training, equipping me to teach English as a foreign language effectively. My skills extend to supervision, leadership, and fostering inclusive environments. Additionally, I bring creative expertise, including a certificate in children’s storybook writing, ensuring engaging and developmental activities for young learners.
This extensive training, combined with practical teaching experience, ensures I can create a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment tailored to each child's needs.
