My Experience
I currently work as a self employed Support Worker for children and young people with additional needs and as a nanny for families within Edinburgh.
I have recently moved on from my role as an Early Years Practitioner (with children from birth to age 5) working for Edinburgh Council, where I also completed my SVQ3 Social Services Children and Young People in 2020

For the last 17 years I have also been working part time with a young person with autism/epilepsy/ additional support needs in his home when required - this has included overnight stays, going on holiday with the family and also looking after the young person at home 1:1, while the parents went abroad on holiday.
My main area of work has been in special needs: assisting with all aspects of personal care, administration of medication, feeding (oral, gastrostomy, jejunostomy) managing challenging behaviour.
I have also done voluntary and paid work with The Yard based in Canonmills over the last 10 years.
Overall, I have more than 20 years experience and training with children of all ages and stages from Birth-18 years, in education, play settings and in their homes as a carer/ babysitter.
