Jasmin, nanny in Bedlington

I am currently looking for work within the child care, sector. I am hard working with a genuine interest and enthusiasm for helping and looking after people. I'm a very caring, honest and a reliable person. I have good team working skills as within my old job role it was very important that I built a strong relationship with not only the children I looked after but family / carers of the children to ensure I could meet as many needs of the child as possible. I think I would be a great person to be work with children because I would like nothing more than make a difference to the lives of individuals and their families. I think it is very important to help the individuals to remain as independent as possible, but I would love to help them with anything them way want or need. Within this job role I cared for children with a variety of different disabilities including ADHD and Down syndrome. As every child I looked after had different physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs it was important that I adapted myself to be able to work individually with each child to ensure their needs were met from me the best that I could. It was also very important that I build relationships with not only the children but with parents or careers and other professionals to ensure that the children were always looked after.
