Qualified nursery practitioner with nearly 11 years experience.
| I was 6 years old when I fell in love with English Language, so I decided to get serious about it and English became a big part of my life, succeeding to get a degree. After graduating I was offered a job in a nursery as an English Teacher teaching children from 2 years old up to 6 years old, and that was my start in Education. I moved to England in 2005 and start working as a nanny. I loved the children I looked after and I don't think I would've loved my own children more than I loved them, but it wasn't enough for me and I start working here in a Nursery which was the best thing I ever did. This provided me with the knowledge I needed: an NVQ3 in Childcare, Makaton training, Brain development in children, Letters and Sounds, experience in working with children with special needs and Down Syndrome. I worked 3 years as a sole charge nanny for children between 4 months to 7 years old. My responsibilities: dropping and picking them up from school; helping with the homework; taking them swimming and to playgroups and outings with their friends; cooking meals, making sure I offer a secure and friendly environment for them, working in partnership with the parents.
