My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Katie. I recently moved here from Canada and I am looking to find a lovely family to work alongside. Currently living in New Town and plan to stay in Edinburgh long term. I am a patient, loving, energetic and kind person filled with a lot of positivity. I have over 12 years of experience in care. I absolutely love working with children and it brings me so much fulfilment helping them grow and learn. I approach child care in a very calm and relaxed way. My main focus is providing them with love and support on a daily basis while helping to guide them in their own discovery. Emotional support is very important to me and I have experience helping kids through really challenging times in life as well as through learning all of these new emotions they have. I love to be outdoors as much as possible with kids, always exploring and learning new things. Music, dance, arts and crafts, baking, cooking, imagination play, museums, reading and working towards skills to help support themselves.
The relationships I have made with previous families I have worked with have been wonderful and I treat children in my care as if they were my own. I am currently looking for part time or full time work. I can be flexible if the family is a great fit.
Currently in the process of getting a DBS/PVG, but it has been more difficult than expected as I have never lived in the UK before. Still in communication with someone here trying to make it happen!
I am fully vaccinated!
