Lisa, babysitting - CM1 Chelmsford

I am an experienced Child Care practitioner, having worked in the field of Early Years and After School Care for over 20 years. I have an excellent knowledge of child development, safeguarding, SEND, as well as a current Paediatric first aid and food hygiene certificate. My last role saw me progress from Nursey Nurse to the position of Manager, which I held for 11 years, having been at the setting for 18 years. My role here was varied, and spanned two Nurseries and two After School Clubs. During this time I also completed a Degree in Early Years, and Early Years Professional Status. I have recently started a new role where the majority of my time working directly with children, as much as I have thoroughly enjoyed my previous position, my passion is working with children and my role has inevitably moved away from this. More recently previous setting had been working with two children who are on the Autistic Spectrum, during this targeted work I have developed an interest in working with children with Special Educational needs and I have undertaken some additional training in this area. I have an Enhanced DBS check, registered on the update service.
