My Summary

My Experience

Currently, I work in a mental health/autism support role and have two roles with children, including a science summer camp and for the council in residential care. I am also experienced with babysitting, most recently building a relationship with a 4 year old, and we have enjoyed playing games, mostly to do with Peppa the Pig, reading stories, and practising drawing in addition to another family previously with a 1.5 year old and 4 year old, so I can juggle two different age groups. I am very interested in gentle parenting, and I try to balance being firm and fun, ensuring that every mistake is a positive learning experience for children I work with.

I have worked as a Graduate Residential Assistant in a boarding school, ensuring the health and wellbeing of over 100 teenage students, as well as a team leader for NCS where I delivered enjoyable sessions to young people, while managing behaviour and safeguarding. I have also been a care worker at a specialised college for young people with disabilities, many with learning disabilities and developmental delays, so I am experienced in working with a wide range of vulnerable young people displaying a variety of behaviours. I prize a non-judgemental and considerate attitude, making sure that I have the physical and emotional safety of those in my care in mind at all times.
