I have also worked children with special needs and children with complex health issues. I have also worked with twins and multi age groups at one time.

I love working with children because i find it very rewarding watching them move throughout each stage of their development.

I have a warm,friendly and outgoing personality who enjoys spending time with children and support families in any way I can.

I got a big heart and love being part of the family unit. I also have a strong commitment towards work ethics and responsibility being honest and loyal to those I working with.

I have a gentle and caring nature who believe in compassion and being the best support I can for each family I work with.

I have a strong interest in child development and believe in forcuing on children's strengths and abilities in order to help them become the best that they can be I love to travel and have worked with children in children's homes in Kenya and in other parts of lm world .

i strongly believe to be a good carer you must love and care for the children in my care and extend that care to other members of the family including pets. I love dogs they have so much love to give.

I have a strong focus on respect of parents and have a good understanding on different parenting styles. I always intrestred in learning a new skill to inprove the quiity of life for another human.

They truly make me shine. I have found longer I work with children and their families the more I find it rewarding.
