Work history
Children support worker
HAYA charity

- I had the privilege of volunteering with the HAYA charity, where I organised both indoor and outdoor activities for children with special needs, including children with autism
- Each session, I worked with small groups of 3-5 children, alongside a team of other dedicated volunteers
- I built individual profiles for each child, focusing on how they interacted with others and their progress in building confidence
- Some of the activities I organised included face painting, and drawing, as well as reading and writing sessions
- These sessions were incredibly fulfilling, as they helped me develop valuable skills in working with children
- I found great joy in supporting them and saw it as a truly rewarding experience
- I also held regular meetings with parents to provide updates on their children's progress, discuss ongoing sessions, and involve them in decision-making for upcoming activities
- This helped me grow my understanding of children's behavior, as well as how to effectively support their emotional and developmental needs

- Homeschooling my daughter has been an incredibly rewarding journey for both of us
- We started by focusing on the fundamentals of literacy and numeracy, laying a strong foundation for her learning
- I introduced phonics to help her decode words and develop her reading skills
- Together, we read a diverse range of books—from fairy tales to informational texts—which not only strengthened her reading abilities but also sparked her imagination and curiosity about the world around her
- In addition to literacy, I placed a strong emphasis on mathematics
- We explored numbers through enjoyable activities like counting objects in the house, playing math games, and solving simple addition and subtraction problems
- I incorporated real-life scenarios to teach her about concepts such as time, money, and measurement, making math both practical and fun
