Hi, my name Kayla I am 22 years old. I have been in education after school for four years, and have a collection of qualifications and an entry level degree. I am hard working, enthusiastic individual that takes initiative and enjoys being around people. I describe myself as an individual that is very reliable and responsible. I follow through on tasks, and pay very close attention to any given instructions.
I have always had a special place in my heart, for babies and children. In the future I plan to work as a teacher abroad, in countries such as Africa or Asia. I have a passion for teaching, and and passing on my knowledge onto others. Teaching and opening the minds of children, has always been something that appeals greatly to me. This is one of the main reasons for leading me, into a possible career in teaching.
I am looking for either part time or full time work. I unfortunately do not yet drive. So I would still be able to travel to any given destination at last minute, within reason. I would prefer to stay close to my local area as mentioned, I do not yet drive. I am willing stay over night, drop and collect from school, weekend work. As I have not yet set up a client base, I am fully flexible. I am willing to look after all ages, babies to children. However I have more experience with children, than I have with babies. And would feel more confident with supervising children.
My past experience includes studying a Level 2 NVQ course in Child Studies. I have also had experience babysitting family members children, and babies on a regular basis. I love inventing games and activities, involving children in creative play such as painting and arts and crafts. If I am asked to babysit over the course of several hours/days, I might suggest in getting the children out the house either just for a walk, or to the local park. This would of course be up for discussion with each particular family. I love to read, and love to encourage children to read and to explore their imaginations as much as possible. As much as I love to have fun, I am also very encouraging when it comes to completing homework and other our of school activities. I am able to prepare, and cook all meals. I am also able to cater to special dietary requirements, as I myself suffer with gluten and dairy issues so I have a great understanding. I do try and encourage healthy as much as possible.
I haven't got much experience with children with special needs, or behavioral disorders. However, there was a time that I was pursuing a career as a teaching assistant. And began to look into applying at a local Special needs school. I have had some experiences around them, but not enough to say that I am fully confident. I am able to pick up routines and Do's and Dont's et.c, very easily.
