I hold a current Enhanced CRB I have both Level 2 and Level 3 in Early Years childcare and Education I hold a current Advanced First Aider Certificate (First-Aid at work plus paediatric illnesses and resuscitation, medications, oxygen therapy and defibrillation modules) Extensive experience with special needs Many checkable references
I have been working in childcare since the age of 14 when I would provide childcare for friends and family. From the age of 16 I have worked in a range of settings with children that include;
|
|
Nurseries, Playgroups, Church Holiday Clubs, Primary schools, Special Schools, Managing and Running Summer Camps for 50+ Children, Private Tuition, In Home Behavior Support, Respite Care, Children's Entertainment, Helping to Lead St John Ambulance's Youth Programme, Youth Clubs, Teaching Dance to Children and Young People With Various Special Needs. |
| As you can see I have worked with a wide range of children and young people of different ages and with individual needs. I pride myself on being child and family focused in all my work. It is because of this that I like to meet the parents and the children before the first sit/event. This gives you a chance to ask me any questions and for the children and I to meet beforehand. In my experience this lessens any anxieties the children may have about having a new carer/sitter for the first time. This also gives me a chance to ask you questions about your child's individual needs and any other information I may need to make the sit/event run as smoothly as possible. |

Whilst in my various jobs I have undertaken many courses, both internal training and academic training including; |
| Autism and Behaviour Management, Behaviour management in Dance, Behaviour Management in School, Child Protection, Children and Anger, Manual Handling, Mentoring. |

Yes I am a man working in childcare A
lot of people have misconceptions of men working in childcare. Whilst I
understand this to a degree I feel I would like to take this opportunity
to explain the benefits of having a male child carer. |
| *A
positive male role model (Children need positive role models of both
genders. I have in the past had single mums change the day
their child came to nursery so that their child could have a positive male
role model in their life)
*Someone to relate to (A lot of boys would prefer to have a man looking after them because they feel they are able to relate to them better) *Safety (When out and about people are statistically less likely to target a child with a man with them) *Men are just as able as women to look after children and sometimes better |
