Ellie, professional childminder in Bideford

My name is Ellie , and I am a very smiley , happy , and bubbly person who always enjoys to lend a hand. I am currently learning to drive and I have qualified as Teaching assistant which I did at college , which was a level 3 course at Petroc. I have done a year and half work experience at Pilton Infants primary school , and enjoy it thoroughly working with the reception class.I completed an early years course in 2012/2013 at Petroc and achieved the course with an overall grade of a Distinction *.
My experience working with children , is that I've had lots of experience working with toddlers between the ages of 2- 4 years , at a nursery which I had to do with my early years course which I worked at for about 4 months. I have also worked at a primary school for a year and a half and by the end of my course it would of been 2 years , in a reception class which I have thoroughly enjoyed! Being an Auntie to 11 has also given me a lot of experience as I spend a lot of time with them and do a lot of babysitting for them! I look after my Niece once a week from 9am - 3pm , and I also used to look after my nephew before he went to nursery , whilst my sister and her husband are at work , so I'm used to being left alone with children which I'm very confident with. I am currently working at an attraction center through the summer holidays working with horses giving children pony rides which is giving me responsibility to look after the children and giving them confidence to be able to ride a pony , when a lot of them haven't ridden before. This has given me a lot of confidence working with children by allowing me to use my initiative and being supportive towards the children and there parents.
