My Summary

My Experience

I currently work with a family who have 2 children, who were 10 months old and 3 years old when I joined at the beginning of 2023. Within this role, I completed all nursery duties, supported weaning (baby had a dairy allergy to begin with) and cooked all meals for the children, including putting on a crockpot daily for the whole family. I supported and encouraged developmental milestones such as walking and talking by going on daily outings to the park and library, attending music classes twice a week and playing fun games.

Before this, I worked with a lovely family who had just had a new baby boy (I started when he was a week old!) where I completed all nursery duties, full weaned, cooked all meals, and helped developmental milestones! I also took baby to music classes. I supported with his elder sibling and transitioning her into school too!

Previous to this I worked for 4 months with a family in Sheperds Bush where I supported mum in looking after her two young children aged 4.5mnths and 2 years. During these 4 months, I completed nursery duties, helped the weaning process, cooked both dairy and gluten free meals and kept the children entertained by playing games, going on outdoor adventures and having a fun time! I also supported mum with sleep routines as both children struggled with this.

I have 2 years of placement experience at a primary school and a private nursery where I have worked with children aged from 6 months to 5 years old, my role was to assist the other members of staff with the care of the babies and children, this would include feeding, organising age appropriate activities, documenting the food charts, observing the babies and children and giving feedback to the other staff where needed. My role was to prepare and support a wide range of activities with the children and babies that encouraged their learning, excited them and made them happy. Over the 2 years I've studied at college we covered a huge variety of information on children aged from 0-7 years old such as how to care for them and their individual needs, understanding their actions and feelings and how to support their learning and understanding.

My Qualifications

I have my Level 3 diploma in Childcare. In this, I focussed on every aspect of the child from their learning to their individual needs.

I also have an enhanced DBS which is on the update service. My current first aid has expired however I am planning to book a course within the next few weeks.

I have a Level 2 qualification in Mental Health in Early Years and am undergoing my Level 2 qualification in Common Childhood Illnesses.
