My Summary
About Me
My name is Laura, I live in Eastbourne with my partner and my 2 daughters ages 2 and 6.
I'm 30 and I have worked in childcare and education right from work experience in school till present. I have always known I wanted to work with children, its my passion and I find it extremely rewarding.
I am a very nurturing and naturally motherly kind of person and I pride myself on my ability to build strong relationships with children.
I love doing all sorts of activities with my little girls in our spare time especially anything creative. I love taking children outdoors and watching them explore nature as I love providing hueristic opportunities for learning and enjoy using a child led approach. I am very creative and love art. I find I am often commended for my calm nature and patient temperament when it comes to caring for children.
My Experience
I have worked as a classroom T.A and I.N.A in schools and nursery's supporting children and helping them to access mainstream education. I have extensive experience and knowledge of SEN care and strongly believe that every child is an individual and should be cared for in a way that is specific to their needs and character. I have also used my knowledge gained from obtaining my NVQ in Playwork to work in after-school clubs and holiday playschemes to create fun and stimulating activities and opportunities for children where they can explore and learn through play.
I have travelled and have previously lived in Uganda, Africa for 10 months where I volunteered in a baby orphanage and had to provide very hands on care to babies as young as 2 weeks old and sometimes very sick babies. That experience gave me a huge insight to the world, endless life skills and the ability to learn how to care for a child no matter what, always putting their needs first.
My Qualifications
I have 9 GCSE'S C and above including Child Development GCSE, a Double Award Health and Social Care A level and an NVQ in Play work. I have various SEN training and have attended workshops for manual handling, child protection, makaton (sign language) PECs (communication system) P.R.I.C.E training (physical intervention), dyslexia, behavior managment and hoist training. I hold a speech and language training certificate and have a current paediatric first aid qualification. I have an extended DSB (CRB) check at my current place of work.
