Summary

Since a young age I've had an interest with working with children, one of the happiest days was completing my college course so then I can implement my skills and passion into working with children.

I have experience working with children from 6 months to 5 years for 3 years, throughout that time I have learnt a lot like, ensuring a safe & caring environment is provided. I am a reliable Nursery Nurse committed to developing high-quality childcare settings for positive nursery experiences. Skilled in EYFS curriculum planning for age-appropriate learning and support. Dedicated to rigorous safeguarding for optimised child welfare. I am very friendly and an approachable individual with excellent communication skills. I can build relationships easily and encourage participation in group settings. I have experience working with SEN children and have created close relationships with the children. I'm also learning Makaton/sign language to further my ability to communicate with non-verbal children or children who are deaf.
