About me:
I have more than 20+ years of experience working with children within both mainstream and Special Educational Needs (SEN) settings, at home, play-schemes, child-care settings, as an Au-pair, babysitting, nanny, and home tutor.
I am creative and enjoy doing all kinds of arts and crafts. I recently taught myself to crochet. I play various musical instruments and during lock-down, enjoyed teaching my son to play the piano. I love sharing these passions and learning more from the children I look after and work with.
I am passionate about education and am an active member of the voluntary organisation, Islington Parent Carer Forum, which supports people who have children with a disability/SEN.
I am enthusiastic about nurturing childrens' growth and development and excel in creating an environment, not only where they can feel secure, happy and learn, but where their emotional and social needs are also met. I am lucky to be ELSA trained and enjoy the pastoral care of this role, building bonds and creating a collaborative, emotionally secure environment where trust and honesty thrive. I have also been trained in phonics so can help your child learn to read and write and beyond and have worked with tutoring children in English, Comprehension and Maths.
I have excellent communication skills and enjoy very good working relationships with both teachers, other staff members, parents and children.
My Experience
I have worked as a nanny, learning support assistant, Au-pair, teaching assistant, learning and behaviour mentor, academic mentor, maths, English, phonics tutor and private home tutor.
These skills incorporate working mostly with Primary school children from reception to year 6 with both mainstream and Special Educational Needs in and out of a school setting.
I have Nanny experience working with babies and under 5's.
