My Summary
About Me
As a dedicated childcare professional, I have extensive experience working with children of various ages and needs, including those with autism, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), ADHD, and Down syndrome. My passion lies in creating a nurturing environment that empowers children and promotes their independence.
During my time in an Autism Specialist School, I learned the importance of setting clear boundaries while providing structure and nurture. This approach fosters a safe and secure atmosphere where children can thrive. I prioritize understanding each child's unique interests and needs, allowing me to build strong rapport and tailor my support effectively.
My goal is to create memorable experiences that support children's growth and help them develop confidence, resilience, and self-reliance. I am seeking a family where I can bring my skills and passion for childcare to create a positive, empowering environment for their children
My Experience
Personal Assistant with Independent Lives: I support an 8-year-old boy with Down syndrome and autism by providing 1:1 specialized care in a safe and nurturing environment. My role involves offering emotional and behavioral support, engaging him in play and activities at home and during days out, and helping with personal care tasks such as washing, toileting, and meal preparation. I use basic Makaton and clear communication to support his language development and focus on promoting his independence by celebrating his achievements. I also maintained close communication with his parents to ensure his care aligned with their guidelines, fostering his overall well-being and progress.
As an SEN Teaching Assistant at The Beckmead Trust, I worked from March 2021 to September 2024 in a specialist autism school, supporting children aged 5-12 with diverse needs. My role involved helping students regulate their emotions, using de-escalation strategies, and managing their behavior in a nurturing and structured environment. I also taught cooking and maths lessons. I would also work 1:1 with a child to support their reading and writing, celebrating their progress and growth in confidence.
As a Community Support Worker with Mencap (January 2021 to July 2021), I provided 2:1 support to a teenage boy with autism and ADHD, helping him regulate his emotions and communicate. I engaged him in activities both at home and outdoors and provided personal care, ensuring his well-being by closely following the parents' care and behavior management guidelines.
As an Early Years Group Leader at Barracuda’s Summer Camp (August 2021 to September 2023), I worked with young children, implementing Early Years Foundation Stages and acting as a key worker. I followed OFSTED guidance to ensure safety, planned structured activities based on the children’s interests, and facilitated their development through Explore and Play sessions.
