Summary

I am looking for part-time work during the evenings, weekends and school holidays. I consistently act professionally and possess strong communication and teamwork skills, with experience in engaging children in both group and individual settings. I have proven ability to plan and lead drama and play activities, showcasing reliability and effective time management. I am knowledgeable in child development and health, with a foundation in food safety and hygiene from my GCSE Food Technology studies. I am currently undertaking GCSE studies in Health & Social Care, with a particular focus on building supportive environments and a keen interest in care and support work.
