Joedene, sitter in Middlesbrough

Hello! My name is Joedene and I am 16. I am very interested in working with children long term, and hope to one day become a social worker. I've always been good with children for as far back as I can remember and as a result have a fair bit of experience of looking after children.

I also enjoy listening to music, spending time with family and friends, baking and reading. I am also a shy person at first, but as soon as I gain my bearings with a situation, shyness isn't an issue.

As someone with younger brothers and cousins I am also very aware of the need to treat each child as an individual and to also cater to their individual needs, not forcing a child I know to love one thing, do another.
