Summary

With having a background within the childcare sector- having 7 years experience within a nursery and within school settings, I have been able to expand on my knowledge on child's developments and needs.


I have been able to expand on my communication skills, with children, adults and professional agencies; this has been through nursery experience, dance experience and brand representative experience.


I have been able to develop my skills with organisation with working in fast paced environments, delegating tasks and understanding that tasks can be handed out in order for them to be done more quickly and efficiently to the highest standards.
