Summary

I am a reliable, enthusiastic, and caring individual currently studying Childhood Studies at the University of Essex. With previous experience volunteering as a classroom assistant at Northlands Primary School, I have developed strong skills in supporting children’s learning, supervising activities, and building positive relationships with both pupils and staff. My background in hospitality has further strengthened my communication, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in fast-paced environments. I am committed to creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment and am eager to contribute to a primary school or nursery setting through a dedicated and hands-on placement.
