Summer Gay

Friendly and approachable individual with a passion for creativity and a drive to make a positive impact on children's development. Reliable and communicative. Experienced store baker but wanting to transition into the world of childcare with a genuine interest in positive child development and care. Well spoken and well mannered, remains calm no matter the occasion and has a value for self expression and kindness. Often told " You should work with children!" due to my gentle and patient manner, sometimes even by teachers when collecting younger brothers from school. Has experience in volunteering with children and a goal to keep them safe and happy. Cares to encourage young people to express themselves and for them to feel heard and understood, and to give children the means to be the best they can be and develop happy and healthy. Grew up with autistic siblings, creating a drive to help young people and children on the spectrum feel heard, and to make a positive impact on those children who are struggling to have needs met due to being in mainstream school with the rise of special needs schools being so high demand.
