Lucy, childcare - NR32 Lowestoft

My name is Lucy , I am 17 years old (18 in April), I live in North Lowestoft and I am currently studying BTEC Level 2 First Diploma in Children's Care, Learning and Development. This also involve performing 300 hours of voluntary work experience at a local nursery between October 2014 - June 2015. I am currently working with children between the ages of 2 and 3, however, I regularly babysit my step-siblings who are aged 9 and 13 (twins).

I have a Level 2 Paediatric First Aid Certificate which is valid for 3 years (expires 02/2018) and a basic Food Hygiene qualification. However, I am always considered a very hygienic individual and I love to cook meals and deserts. I also have an Enhanced DBS Certificate (originally CRB) which is available immediately upon request.

In my spare time I like to play guitar, which I have played for 3 years and piano, which I have played for around 5 years. I like to socialise and I am always out and about with friends and family. I swim 3 times a week at a local sports centre too.

Due to voluntarily working in a nursery, I have learnt how to do many activities with children which are all creative, fun and aid in many areas of their development.
