My Summary
About Me
I am a caring, friendly, relaxed and patient person who has worked with children most of my life. I have been a qualified Nursery Nurse since 1998 and have worked in day nurseries, early years centres, schools and playschemes. Up to March 2012 I worked as a supply Nursery Nurse in Portsmouth doing day to day work and longer assisgnments in nurseries and schools. In 2012 I worked as a Nursery Nurse on the Paediatric ward of the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, which is a chest,lung and heart specialist hospital so all the babies and children
are there to have operations. My job role included supporting parents and babies, working alongside play specialists, nurses, parents and other nursery nurses. The work was varied but the main responsibilities were preparing specialist feeds, supporting parents and aiding play specialists and nurses. From March 2013 to October 2016 I was a Playworker/ Support Worker at Heath Children's Centre in Petersfield working for Action For Children charity. My role was to support families in different groups, signpost them to other services, set up and deliver activities around East Hants area, deliver parent programmes such as PEEP and IAIM Baby Massage and work within a experienced and forward thinking team. I love working with babies and children, i am passionate about my job. I can drive and have a car with insurance for business use. I come from a loving family with older brothers and sisters and have four newphews and a neice of various ages to keep me busy.
At the moment I am avaliable as an ad hoc part time nanny or babysitter during day hours and occasional evening babysitting. I am also a IAIM Baby Massage Instructor and can offer 1:1 courses in the home for babies from birth to 1 year old and I am a Home Help for Community First.
