Support Statements
In addition to my professional secretarial and administrative support experience, I am a mother of twin boys, currently aged 10. I took care of them from infancy through their early years in kindergarten, during which I actively participated in school volunteer work and collaborated closely with teaching staff and fellow parents. I ensured the safety and well-being of children by obtaining certifications in food safety and hygiene, as well as Safeguarding People and Safeguarding Awareness training to prevent any form of abuse.
Though I may lack experience as a teaching assistant or learning support assistant, my passion for working with children has led me to pursue certificates in CACHE Level 3 Award Supporting Teaching and Learning and TQUK Level 2 Special Educational Needs with The Learning College. I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge in a new educational setting and contribute to the growth and development of young learners.
