My Summary

My Experience

While I don't have formal employment experience in childcare, I’ve spent many years helping to care for my sister's nine children, ranging in ages from infancy to teenagers. Through this, I’ve gained extensive experience in managing the daily needs of children, from meal preparation to bedtime routines. Additionally, I’ve supported children with special educational needs (SEN), which has taught me the importance of patience, communication, and creating a structured yet flexible environment. My background also includes first aid training, ensuring that I can handle minor injuries or emergencies with confidence. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills and empathy needed to provide high-quality care to children of all ages.

My Qualifications

I have a solid educational foundation and relevant certifications that enhance my suitability for childcare roles. I hold a GCSE in various subjects, ensuring a well-rounded academic background. Additionally, I have completed a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Hospitality and a Level 4 Apprenticeship in Hospitality Management. While these qualifications were obtained in the hospitality industry, they provided me with valuable skills in communication, crisis management, and operational oversight that are highly transferable to a childcare environment.

In terms of specialized training, I hold an Enhanced DBS check, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children I care for. I am also trained in First Aid, which I received during my time in hospitality management. Furthermore, my recent certifications include safeguarding, understanding the Prevent Duty, and effective behavior management, all of which are crucial for working with children, especially those with special educational needs (SEN). These qualifications, combined with my experience and commitment, equip me to provide high-quality care and support to children in a safe and nurturing environment.

My Availability

I am available from 6pm to 2am throughout Monday to Friday and am fully available on Saturdays and Sundays depending on existing commitments or personal holidays. My schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate last-minute requests, whether for full-time, part-time, or occasional care. Please feel free to reach out, and I will do my best to meet your childcare needs.
