Hello, I'm Jade and I'm 22 years old, I have a degree in Applied Drama and have been looking after and working with children for 8 years. I have previously volunteered in a nursery and recently volunteered in Zimbabwe for 3 months working with orphaned children and families. I have had experience as a teaching assistant and have had some experience working with special needs children and adults. My dad and stepmum have fostered for many years now and I have grown up with lots of children and helping to care for them. I'm very passionate about children and am hoping to gain more experience working with children before applying to complete a PGCE in the future.
