I have been working with children for 6 years in schools, nurseries and one specialist provision. I am currently studying Childhood Development and Playwork (BA Hons) at university and chose this area of study because I know play is such an important aspect of children’s lives and is necessary for their development.
I'm passionate about ensuring children’s environments are set up in ways that promote their play needs and therefore allow them to develop in the ways they need.

I have a BA Hons degree in ‘Childhood Studies’, and I completed my PGCEi course whilst working in Dubai.
I have been teaching for many years mainly in Leeds, as well as London for 3 years and Dubai for 4 years. I have always taught in pre-school as I find this is the perfect age group to explore and be adventurous while learning and having fun in the process. It is wonderful to see children excel in different areas as well as realise their own individuality and interests as they grow. I have always been passionate about teaching and seeing children reach their full potential.

I am enthusiastic to be part of the team at this beautiful nursery. This is my first year at a nursery, but all my life I’ve been passionate about caring for children. I have worked as a babysitter for a long time in Spain and in England.
I’m a very active person, creative and hard-working. I enjoy learning new languages, this is one of the reasons I moved to the UK. I love sports and in my spare time I dance, play football and go out sightseeing. Also, I spend a lot of time with my friends and reading.

I am passionate about helping children to develop their personalities and watching them learn about the world in the process. Being part of that process is what I most enjoy when working with children. Therefore, I have worked with children, of various ages, as a volunteer for over a year in a private nursery in Venezuela. In my experience, I have learned that every child feels and understands the world differently. That is why I take care of knowing and adapting to each child to get the best out of them and to help them build their personality and confidence. I am excited to be working in 22 Street Lane Nursery helping the team and the parents!
In my spare time, I enjoyed playing tennis and performing folkloric dances. Also, I love spending time with my family travelling around the world and knowing different cultures.

I have lots of previous experience working in a primary school with children from the ages of 4 up to 11, in addition to working 1:1 with children with special educational needs.
