My Experience
My experience is built up around my own children my first child has dairy and nut allergies to which she has epipens to back her up, along with asthma and hayfever, my second daughter has severe allergies to tree & grass pollen and wheat and dairy intolerances so it has been very challenging for me but with the help and guidance of doctors and nurses over the years I’ve become quite confident with medical issues. I have a good circuit of friends already through playroups, some I have met during my course and others from activities I have done with my own girls.
I have also helped out alot at my daughters preschool and at her primary school where we have been out on outings in which i have looked after a group of children and helped in the classroom too.
