Piggles

My Summary

My Experience

I went to college after obtaining 11 GCSE's A* - C and studied a BTEC National Diploma in childhood studies.
This gave me 6 months working in a Primary School with the reception class. Along with working with birth to 4 year olds at a nursery for 6 months.

I worked for a year as a nanny for 3 children within a family aged from 3 years upto 9 years of age.

I have spent many times caring for my nieces and nephews from birth to aged 15.

I was in a relationship for four years caring for three children aged 2 to 10 years of age for weekends, family holidays and summer holidays.

I spent the previous 7 years as a police officer working on response, dealing with the care and safeguarding of children.

I've been successfully open now since September 2015 working with children
aged from 12 months to ten years of age. References from all of my parents can be obtained if you would like to hear their experience of Piggles.
