My Summary
About Me
Personnel Profile
I work with families with children of all ages, as my experience is diverse. I enjoy supporting parents by introducing routine sleep issues and behaviour issues through to much more complex issues like ADHD. I work with children from a solutions mentality rather than a discipline-focused one, supporting their independence and resilience in everything we do together. I love taking the time to be with children to feel heard and understood. I have a great passion for my work. Helping a child through these critical years enriches our society, and supporting parents so they are not so overwhelmed allows them to enjoy their children and support their lifestyle. Putting the child at the centre of everything I do has made me want to understand more about behaviour and brain development. As my job involves working with families, I have become interested in systemic relationships, so I am currently studying how, as humans, we create relationships and how to support them.
Jo is a qualified self employed, professional Norland Nanny, Qualified Montessori teacher, therapeutic play therapist
I run a stay and play guided Montessori sessions. in Upton Grey Village Hall on Tuesdays sessions 10 till 11.30am please contact if you are intrested
When working with children I draw on Pikeler, RIE, Montessori approaches aswell as Norland, I draw on my knowledge of play therapy and positive discipline when behaviour issues come up. All of these approaches are available in the internet if you want to build a picture of what my child care style is.
I endeavour (and always have done) to strive for excellence in my own ability as a practitioner and in the environment in which I am working.
