My Summary

My Experience

I have a vast amount of experience in babysitting for friends and family. I also have years of experience in doing the school run/cooking as I usually did it for my younger sibling. I also have a lot of experience in caring for people with special needs, as my older brother is disabled. Due to this experience at home, along with my participation with a special needs summer camp (PHAB Camp), I have good listening and communication skills. I am really organised and methodical, as I usually administer medication to my brother. I would say that my experiences have resulted in me becoming quite empathetic, I love establishing a rapport with children and I love taking on new responsibilities.

I also completed work experience at a primary school for a week and took on a range of responsibilities ranging from teaching small groups of children, to safeguarding classes on a school trip. I have therefore had to calmly deal with difficult children as well and I know how to handle pressure very well.

My participation in a Solihull Samaritans Listening Session trained me on how to listen to people of all ages and try to under their needs and behaviour empathetically. I was also taught techniques on how to establish a rapport and build connections with people and make them feel comfortable and at ease. I am confident that I can transfer these skills that I learnt and developed to situations when I am responsible for the care of children.

During my time at Secondary School, I was a peer mentor. I regularly scheduled meetings with younger students who had just started their senior school journey and was able to offer them advice and tutoring on subjects they struggled with. As I lacked a mentor myself at that age, I was able to offer experience and comfort to shy students who did not really open up so easily, which required me to gain their trust and form connections with them.

I have acquired my Law with Criminology degree and studied at Solihull School for 7 years prior to University.
