Sara, foreign au pair - CT9 Margate

I have an NVQ level 3 in child care and eduction, I also have my food hygiene certificate and paediatric first aid. I am also British Sign Language (Level 1) and makaton trained. I am able to look after children from newborn to 16 years.

I have many years of experience looking after children of many ages and different backgrounds as well as looking after children who have special needs, I have worked with children with ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy and learning difficulties.

I believe that children will learn more by doing rather than just sitting and listening. I like to get children involved in everyday tasks like helping with cooking and cleaning. I'm always thinking of new ways that I can help to make a child's day as best as it can be whether it's putting on silly voices for stories or just going for a walk and always noticing what the world is like around them. I also enjoy being creative, role play and getting messy, but everything will always be tidied up afterwards.
