Emma, nanny - G52 Glasgow

Hi my name is Emma I'm 28 years old. I have previously worked in a private nursery for the best part of 6 years, the age range was 6 months - 5 years. I also worked as a private nanny for a few months looking after twins at 3 months old and a 3 year old.

Throughout my time at college were I gained and HNC in Childcare and Education I carried out work placements in a primary 1 class and in a council nursery.

I also have a nephew who I have helped look after as he was growing up. He is now 14. I've always enjoyed spending time with children and helping them to learn through fun activities.

I'm a friendly sociable person who enjoys meeting new people and like to help others.

I have carried out many training courses over the years in relation to childcare and education. These range from experiential play to healthy and hygiene. Other examples of subjects I have covered are learning disability awareness and reactive approaches to challenging behaviour due to the nature of my job now in mental health.

Although I work in mental health now I'm looking to go back into childcare. I feel both positions have transferable skills.
