I am currently doing an MA in Art Psychotherapy and am looking for a part-time position to sit alongside my studies. I am a warm and approachable person with a proactive and positive nature.
I am now looking to broaden my experience in different care settings, particularly with children.
I have looked after young family members and neighbors on a casual basis in the past and can provide references for this if needed. I am happy to help with cooking, household chores and with homework and I have a keen interest in creative activities (painting, sewing, crafts and story telling), music (I used to learn the piano and cello), animals and can speak some basic French.
