My Summary
About Me
I have a keen interest in nutrition and health - I am a trained Pilates teacher and Personal Trainer, and work part time for the NHS as a Health Coach. I enjoy keeping fit by going to the gym and running. I have been a regular participant in parkrun over the last 8 years, and I also really enjoy volunteering there, as I love the community spirit and joy that comes from motivating others towards a healthier lifestyle. I have completed over 200 parkruns, and almost 50 volunteers! In 2018 I also raised £1000 for Epilepsy Research UK through my running, something very close to my heart after losing a family member to Epilepsy.
In my spare time I enjoy having coffee with friends (I’m quite a coffee connoisseur!), going to the theatre, reading with a cup of tea, card-making, and being out in nature (whether that’s walking, cycling, swimming or sitting ????????)
My Experience
I have worked with children in a variety of different settings over the past 12 years. I especially enjoy working with younger children, as I love their enthusiasm and excitement towards life! I have taught ballet and contemporary dance to children from the age of two up to teenagers, working at various dance schools, gym crèches, gymnastics clubs and at Pippa Pop-ins Montessori Nursery Schools in Fulham London. I have worked as bank staff for Small Friends day nursery in Leigh on Sea as a nursery assistant, and as a nanny for children aged 3-9.
I have been responsible for devising and running dance classes and workshops for children at health club creches, dance schools in Essex and London, and gymnastics clubs. As a Creative Movement teacher for Pippa Pop-ins Montessori Nursery schools in Fulham, I collaborated with the nursery teachers, creating an introduction to dance and music. My classes encouraged coordination, balance, rhythm, hand-eye coordination, concentration and movement, and I would plan the classes in line with the seasonal curriculum, often using story telling as an inspiration. I have also worked as a children’s party princess character.
I am conscientious, responsible and imaginative, and quickly build relationships with children. I believe very much that early years stimulation sets the foundations for future learning and the full realisation of potential. I love to help children learn and grow as individuals, and have a nannying style that is inspired by the Montessori ethos.
I am DBS checked, and hold a 12 hour paediatric first aid, Safeguarding & Protecting Children, and Level 2 ‘Introducing Caring for Children and Young People’ Certificates. I hold a UK driving license and have my own car.
