Megan, babysitter in Walsall WS1

Hi! I'm Megan, I am 19 years old and currently at college working towards an Access to Higher Education Diploma in Education Professions which will enable me to go to university to do a teaching degree. I am a qualified level 2 teaching assistant and have had varied experience working with children. I also have a clear DBS. I am looking for babysitting and part time care jobs to fill up spare time that I have and to help me gain as much experience working with children as possible before I start my teaching degree. Whilst working towards my level 2 teaching assistant certificate I worked in a special school for visually impaired and blind children, many of the children there also had additional needs including; hearing impairments, autism and physical disabilities. I have also had experience in mainstream schools and I am currently doing a placement one day a week at a local primary school. I would be willing to partake in any sort of care and work including; helping children with home work, cooking meals and doing some housework. Gaining a teaching assistant qualification enabled me to gain experience in various activities with children including; aiding them with their school work and taking part in a number of games and activities. I will always link any game or activity to key parts of a child's learning and make sure they are fully engaged and are enjoying what they are doing. I feel someone who works with children needs to have a kind and caring attitude and be very approachable so that the child/children feel comfortable around them, and I feel I have all of these qualities, all of the children I've worked with enjoyed working with me and felt very comfortable with me (I often visit the special school I worked in to see the children as they often ask about me). I hope you found out anything you needed to know through this, if not feel free to contact me and we can talk about what you're looking for and what I can offer you.
