Leona, childcare in Kingston upon hull HU1

Hello :)

I am a recent BSc (Hons) Psychology graduate hoping to specialise in child and adolescent clinical psychology in the future.

I am looking for any experience with taking care of children as this is something I am really passionate about. I am very versatile, patient, friendly, and calm.

I have lots of experience with volunteering with children. I am a Mentor with Hull Children's University and I have volunteered as a Play-worker with Bricknell Primary after school club. Being a mentor allowed me to develop my communication skills as I regularly find myself encouraging shy, reluctant children to take part in more activities. I find helping them to become more confident extremely rewarding. Volunteering at Bricknell Primary helped to develop my creativity as I was regularly responsible for creating and carrying out that evening's craft activity. I often chose to bake with the children as they loved it and it is a passion of mine. Furthermore, I look after my partner's younger siblings quite often (who are 9 and 12 years old). I take them on days out, help them with homework and generally keep them occupied when they stay over.

I am willing to help out in any way that I can and I look forward to hearing from you :)
