Summary
I love working with children because each day brings something new while also having a followed routine. I love creating and tailoring their learning to their interests and needs and have creative and fun ideas to encourage the children in my care. I have good knowledge and 1st hand experience of working with children with special needs. I have done first aid training before and know the basics of CPR and other first aid practices. I am enthusiastic and love creating a bond with the child and their care giver so that they know and trust me to do my job and also that they can come to me with any issues, ideas and so on and will feel listened to and supported.
