Childcare assistant | Katherine Semar Schools / ACE club

I gained valuable experience working at Katherine Semar Schools, where I was involved in organizing and participating in school discos, engaging with children during physical education classes, and ensuring inclusive participation in lessons. I focused on creating a welcoming environment to help children feel comfortable and confident. Additionally, I read to children and contributed to the after-school ACE club, supporting their development and activities. This experience has prepared me well for a role at ACE club, where I aim to continue fostering a positive and engaging environment for children
