My Summary
About Me
I am an honest, kind, caring and reliable professional. I work full time in the NHS.
I would like to make use of my skills, education and knowledge to support children and families to achieve a healthy work life balance.
I am open minded and inclusive to all.
I am a very organised person, recognise the benefits of routine and I am respectful of previously established routines. I prioritise health and safety and how enabling environments can promote independence in the young child.
I value the importance learning through play to support children before and during formal education.
I am a great believer in good communication, mindful/consistent use of language, and consideration of individual child needs, as tools for promoting positive behaviour.
Non smoker
My Experience
My experience is predominantly in the health service and in early years education.
I have a wide range of experience of working with children aged 0 to 16 years in a variety of settings.
I completed 6 years training and have 8 years experience in the early years field.
I have experience of working with children in a private day care setting where I worked for a brief time with children age 0 to 1year.
I have completed shifts as bank staff on a ward in a maternity hospital where I provided basic support to mothers of newborn babies, and to the nursing staff on the ward.
I worked with 3 to 6 year olds in an educational setting whilst on placement in a nursery school and in a primary school.
I worked for 6 years in a paid capacity in a playgroup setting where the NI PreSchool Education Curriculum was implemented.
I completed shifts over a period of 6 months in a hospital setting providing basic care to children/families, and support to the nursing team looking after them whilst they were inpatients on the ward.
I recently worked directly with adults and young people who have acquired communication impairment, and difficulties with eating, drinking and swallowing. I implemented individual Speech and Language therapy/treatment programs which were devised by therapists as part of rehabilitation programs.

Cannot recommend Maria enough! She is very trustworthy and friendly. Her knowledge of children and how they learn through play is second to none. She used these skills impeccably when looking after my son and he thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I felt confident with Maria looking after my son. I knew he was in safe hands and his time with her would be packed with lots of sensory experiences that suited his needs at the time. She was extremely reliable. Maria has a really warm and genuine nature.
