Gina Buckingham

My name is Gina, I am 38 years old, I am a British citizen currently living in England, and I am now seeking an exciting and challenging opportunity in America where I can grow professionally while embracing a new environment and culture. I bring experience in the childcare sector alongside 9 years of retail experience. I enjoy cooking and baking, exploring child development topics, and expressing my creativity through DIY projects, painting, and cross-stitch, all of which reflect the care and enthusiasm I bring to you.

I have extensive professional experience in both childcare and retail. In childcare, I am highly knowledgeable in child development and passionate about helping children grow, learn, and develop the skills they need to succeed. I am trained as a SENCO and have experience supporting children of all abilities, creating inclusive, nurturing, and engaging learning environments.

I focus on fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence in every child, tailoring my approach to their individual needs and encouraging their emotional, social, and cognitive development. In retail, I have 9 years of experience developing strong communication, customer service, teamwork, and organisational skills. Together, my experience reflects a blend of care, creativity, and professionalism that I bring to every role.
