I come from a family that was fostering since I was a teenager. Watching my parents experiencing great joy and satisfaction from helping children and the rewards they get from their job has influenced my career choice. I decided to study Psychology and work in childcare. Through the course I have gained psychological knowledge about child development. Working as a nanny allowed me to see first-hand how children develop emotionally and socially. It also taught me to deal with difficult behaviour, to be patient and non-judgemental. Over the last 9 years I have looked after children in various ages. In my most recent vacancy I looked after two babies who are now 14 and 15 months old. My main duties included being responsible for the safety, well being, care and development of children; Promoting positive work ethic and good behaviour; Assisting children psychologically and socially through organising age related activities; Assisting children in their educational pursuit; Providing healthy nutritional intake and appropriate physical activities. Please see my resume for details about my employment history. Daria
