Stephanie, childcare provider in Eastbourne

Hi, my names Steph and I'm 19 years old. I recently attended a child care college course in which I worked in a reception class in an infant school. Since then, I have had to give up college for medical reasons but am still looking to work with children as I am going back this September. Working with children is something I love to do, so given the opportunity I would be very grateful for any job. I am also DBS checked and have attended a head start course.

I would love a part time/full time job looking after children. Preferably in the Eastbourne area but I am open to getting the train if need be. Unfortunately I don't drive so school pick up/drop off would not be suitable for me at the moment.

Since I started work experience, my confidence has got a lot better. I am now able to interact with other people I must work with as well as interact enthusiastically with the children. I have always been good with working with children but these opportunities have shown me how much better I can be.

I believe that there is always learning to be done with young children so I look for ways play can be turned into an educational experience for them. When I did work experience, we did a lot of activities that were based around the children learning, that they enjoyed too.
