Darcie Parkin

I am a dedicated and compassionate care professional with hands-on experience in both early years education and adult healthcare support. I hold a Level 2 qualification in Childcare and have worked as an Early Years Educator, supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing. I also have strong experience as a Healthcare Assistant with Derbyshire County Council, where I provided personal care, end-of-life support, dementia care, and medication assistance in a nursing setting. I am reliable, hardworking, and passionate about making a positive difference in people’s lives—whether supporting children in their early development or providing high-quality care to vulnerable adults.

I have experience working across both the childcare and healthcare sectors, with a strong foundation in providing compassionate, hands-on support to individuals of all ages. I hold a Level 2 qualification in Early Years Education and have worked as an Early Years Educator, supporting children’s development in line with the EYFS framework. In addition, I have worked as a Healthcare Assistant for Derbyshire County Council, where I delivered high-quality care including personal support, dementia care, medication administration, and end-of-life care. I am reliable, empathetic, and committed to promoting dignity, safety, and wellbeing in all aspects of my work.

I hold a Level 2 Certificate in Early Years Education, which provided me with a strong understanding of child development, safeguarding, health and safety, and effective communication. I also completed training relevant to adult care, including dementia care, end-of-life care, and medication support, as part of my role as a Healthcare Assistant. This combination of formal education and on-the-job training has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality, person-centred care across both childcare and adult support settings.
