I have served on three ships with MSC the most recent ship being the MSC Seaside where I worked with a team to set up the childcare centre and promote the brand new ship to appeal to both European and American audiences. Whilst on board I was co-room leader of the nursery for children aged 12 months to three years.

Youth Staff for TUI
A summer contract, working with three to eleven year olds at a Family Resort in Corfu. During the quieter weeks, I also work in the crèche. Throughout the season I prepared and presented story based activities during the day and took part in the team shows in the evening. This placement also included PR activities promoting the child care facilities, plus booking in the children, keeping accounts and the general administration for the children in our care each week. Followed by a winter contract at a five star plus resort in Tenerife, working with children aged three to 12 years; providing fun, age appropriate activities throughout the children’s holiday. The main concept of the resort was playing and enjoying through your senses, so I had to adapt the techniques and actives from previous roles and learn new activities to fit in with this five star resort.
