My Summary

My Experience

I have worked with children across all ages from 3 - 14 years.

I have newborn and breastfeeding experience from raising my own children. I trained as a breastfeeding peer support mentor when my eldest was born and volunteered at my local breastfeeding group for 5 years. My oldest son was tongue tied and very colicky as a baby and I had lots of difficulty establishing breastfeeding. I have lots of tips of settling colicky newborns and supporting breastfeeding mothers.

I have lots of experience in potty training from working many years in a Nursery setting. I have also supported potty training children with additional learning needs.

I have worked with children who have global delay, ADHD, ASD, Cerbral Palsy, physical disabilities and Down Syndrome.

I have experience supporting children who have been adopted, experienced trauma, abuse and bereavement. I am trained in safe guarding and DBS checked. I use stories and play to help children work through their feelings and emotions.

I spent nine years working in a multicultural in city school where English was a second language and gained lots of experience communicating with children who have little or no English or children that are non verbal.

My previous school is in Barry where I set up the Nursery class and developed lots of outdoor learning spaces. I also covered all the classes up to year six and enjoy working with children of all ages.

I love creating warm and inviting environments for children to grow and thrive in. Children need to feel secure and safe to for their individual personalities to flourish.

I have an excellent understanding of developmental mile stones and different phases children move through. I use lots of positive praise, gentle communication and clear boundaries to encourage positive behaviour and help the children I work with to express themselves and communicate their emotions.
