Hi, My names Leah and I'm a fully qualified early years practitioner that holds a BA Honours degree in Early Years. I first started looking after children at the age of thirteen due to having a large family and being the oldest cousin this developed my passion for working with children and increased my interest in learning how children develop and learn. I have now been working in childcare settings for 10 years starting in a nursery at the age of seventeen and completing an NVQ level 2, 3 and BA degree all whilst being employed in a setting. I also have a enhanced DBS check, paediatric first aid, food and hygiene and safeguarding children certificates. I have worked in a variety of settings such as nursery, pre - school, private nanny, school, after school clubs and I am presently working full time Monday - Friday as a family support worker in Taunton helping children that are less fortunate reach their age appropriate developmental levels. I am looking for some babysitting/childminding work some evenings and weekends either on a regular or adhoc basis.
