I have a wealth of experience in working with young children with challenging behaviours/needs. I used to run the nurture group at the primary school I worked at for 10 years. I am also a qualified swimming instructor.
I am now 42, and a proud mum of a 16 year old boy. He has just gained his English GCSE a year early and is a very well rounded young man.
I am energetic and enjoy the outdoors.
I love swimming and arts and craft. Beach combing is another activity that I enjoy. Working with children and seeing them evolve into themselves is a beautiful blessing to behold.

Sarah can provide references from recent employers
Sarah worked on a one to one scheme with a disabled young man who had learning difficulties. The gentle man also had no speech, and Sarah taught herself Makaton to enable her to converse with her client. Sarah is patient and responsive- caring and informative. She regularly sought advice when unsure, displaying a level headed maturity. I can only give you positive feedback about Sarah, it was a real shame that she left the scheme. This was pre-empted by Sarah herself, who said that she felt she was beginning to become complacent and thought it would be best to move on.
I have an NVQ 3. I have worked in a primary school for 10 years and have a wealth of experience with all behaviours and needs.
