About

I am currently working in Early years and looking for new experiences and knowledge to add to my skill set. I'm Enthusiastic and eager to contribute to team success through hard work, attention to detail and good organisational skills. I am also motivated to learn and grow.

Before starting my full time job I enjoyed being apart and volunteering at my youth group and helping out different nurseries during the term time holidays of academy and college. I enjoy helping others and supporting myself as well. I have a varied skill set that makes me suitable for working within a range of different jobs.

I can alter my communication style to engage effectively with people to also suit different needs. As mentioned at the top, I am an early years practitioner with nearly 3 years of practical experience and dedicated work ethic. I worked with 0-2 year olds for 2 years and 7 months and i am currently working with 3-5 year olds.

I also worked as a Kiosk Assistant and Waitress with 1.5 years experience. I am excited to partner with like-minded individuals to achieve my goals and your teams.
