I have completed a Diploma, Foundation Degree and recently completed a degree with the Open University. I used to work as part of a support team at a residential boys school. I then went on to work at a secondary school as a teaching assistant; supporting SEN students for 4 years. I have also taught dancing to children 3-16 years old and did this for 9 years. I have recently completed a 3 day first aid course whilst working on placement in a local college working as part of the student wellbeing team. I have just completed my level 5 course in youth and community work at MMU. Whilst studying I was working full time at Costa Coffee as a supervisor, I currently provide respite care for a family who has an 18 year old son with downs syndrome. Previous to this I also cared for 3 Spanish children and picked them up from school and helped them with homework and took them to various different clubs.
