Leigh Evans-Barry

I am an approachable, patient, and highly motivated individual with a passion for working with people of all ages. With over 30 years of experience in care and 3 years in childcare, I am now seeking to focus fully on a role in early years education. I bring a positive, enthusiastic personality, and I work well in teams as well as independently. I hold Level 2 and 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care, along with a Level 3 Diploma in Childcare.
