My Summary

My Experience

5 January 2012 – April 2013 Mrs Geraldine McEnroe


I was in sole charge of 3 children aged 4, 3 and 16 months working 30 hours over 2.5 days.

Activities include taking the older child to school and the middle child to playgroup on a Monday and picking them up. I would take the younger child to a toddler group. After I picked the children up, we sometimes would go to the park or go and feed the ducks. I then would give them their tea and bath them before either parent came in. Tuesday I would have the 2 younger children, so I would try and do various activities such as baking, colouring sticking and playing various board games. If the weather is nice I would try to go out and give them some fresh air. They would go on their bikes or we would go to soft play in the car. I would give them their tea again and bath them, ready for mum and dad coming in.

Wednesday, I would take the older child to school and the other child to nursery and I do various activities with the younger child, until their mum came in after lunch

PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT

7 January 2010 – 31 December 2011 Mrs Charlotte Annett

I worked in a private day nursery as a under two’s supervisor, in a room looking after children aged 6 weeks - 2 years. My day to day role was to plan activities that were suitable for each individual child. As under two’s supervisor I ensured that all staff worked to the routine of the room and any issues were raised with myself and sorted.

29 March 1995 - 12 August 2005

I was looking after a young boy who had Dyspraxia, and who required additional support and care. When I began this employment he was 3 years old. I provided all-day care doing various activities, and also visiting the speech therapist and physiotherapist. When he started school I was on stand-by so that I would be there if the school needed to get in touch with me. I occasionally did overnights as his mother was away with work on various occasions.
