Summary
I am a happy, friendly and caring person who has a genuine love for working with children. Being part of their early years and watching them grow, learn and develop into their own little personalities is something I find incredibly special.
I am a Level 3 Qualified Nursery Practitioner with over nine years of experience working with children. Throughout my career, I have been lucky enough to care for lots of wonderful children and help them through some of their most important early milestones.
One of my favourite parts of working in a nursery is building those special bonds with the children and their families. I understand how important it is for parents to feel happy and reassured when leaving their little ones in someone else's care. I take great pride in building trusting relationships and making sure parents feel included in their child's day, sharing all those lovely moments and achievements along the way.
I am naturally creative and enjoy coming up with new activities that capture children's imaginations , support their development and follow EYFS framework. I especially love spending time outdoors and believe children learn so much from exploring nature and the world around them.
I am always keen to learn, improve and develop my skills further.
Most importantly, I genuinely love what I do. Knowing that I can make a positive difference to a child's day, help them feel secure and happy, and be part of their early learning journey is what makes working in childcare so rewarding to me.
