My Summary

My Experience

I have travelled France and Switzerland, being a holiday nanny for many different families while they were on skiing holidays. looking afer a range of ages ranging from 5 week twins to 14yr old girls. This was a fantastic opportunity as i got to see some of Europe as well as work for some fantastic families. Before I went I was working in a nursery in Harrogate becoming a senior in a room. This gives me experience in all sorts of environments. I have the ability to think fast and on the go because being in a room with children of all disabilities gives the opportunities for anything to happen. I have worked with children from 0 to 8 but would love to work with any age. Before this I had worked in an elderly care home and loved the way that you give them what they need everyday. I have also done volunteer work in St Georges crypt in Leeds helping out with the serving of food.

I've worked in a nursery in Adel called Acorns for a year when came back from Switzerland. I now work with people with disabilities for a company called wilfward family trust. Shift patterns are pretty set so can offer upfront.
