My Summary

My Experience

I first started working with young children when I was around 13/14 working in my dance school at the time. On Fridays and Saturdays I would be assisting dance dance classes with children through the ages 2-11. As well as this, on Sundays we held birthday parties at the dance school and I'd help with teaching choreography, face painting and serving food. During my last year of secondary school in 2023, for my gold Duke of Edinburgh, I was required to part take in volunteering. I was made aware that some of the children in year 7 were not enjoying their activity sessions, so I offered to take them for dance classes as my volunteering. It was supposed to be once a week at lunch time, however both me and the girls decided we enjoyed the sessions a lot so we made it a daily session. This summer I spent two months working at a summer camp in Pennsylvania, United States as a bunk councillor. This entailed me living in a bunk with 12 girls ensuring they were up and ready on time for breakfast, making sure they had everything for their different activities throughout the day, comforting them if they were homesick, encouraging them to take part in everything the camp offered for them, keeping them safe on trip days outside camp and getting them ready for bed on time. I was also a dance and waterfront councillor for the two months. in school I have taken part in first aid training and from camp i have a DBS check. A couple of times, I have babysat for family friends who's children were around 6 and 9 at the time however i have experience with children of any age. I have also had several waitressing jobs while i was in school which benefits me in this area as it allows me to connect well with people, increased my work ethic, use my initiative and always go the extra mile whilst putting others first.

My Qualifications

i have A levels in biology, P.E and geography. GCSE's in english, maths, biology, physics, chemistry, P.E, geography, Spanish. From a young age i have taken exams for dance in different styles including ballet, modern and commercial in which I have been awarded distinctions that provide me with UCAS points. In school I took part in Duke of Edinburgh and got to the gold expedition which lasted five days. This provided me with an immense amount of skill and a great mindset which can be used in everyday life.
