  I am currently enrolled at Leeds Beckett University studying for a BA degree in ‘Teaching and Education’. Although I am in my first year of university, I have over 7 years’ experience working with children in over four countries where I have gained experience across two broad and diverse curriculums in both Singapore and Australia, and now, England. I have a Diploma in Montessori Method of Education, and I have a great sense of belief in their philosophy of allowing children to learn at their own pace and according to their own interest.

  I believe in creating an environment that is fun and engaging for children and I am looking forward to supporting the teachers at 22 Street Lane in achieving this. I love to integrate learning through music and stories at every age group.

  I am extremely excited to learn and grow with the team at 22 Street Lane as I believe that it will enable me to utilise my passion, enthusiasm and drive to make a difference in a young person’s life and offer the opportunity to contribute to a child's development in order to maximize their future well-being.

  Prior to joining 22 Street Lane Nursery, I volunteered tutoring young children literacy and maths, alongside caring for adults with High-Functioning Autism and Down’s Syndrome.

  I have always believed that every child from all walks of paths, truly deserve the best possible start in life, which is why caring and working with children and helping them develop to the best of their abilities has always been a great passion and priority of mine.

  I am currently studying for my Level 2 qualification in Childcare, being a part of a child’s first learning steps has always been a career path I have wanted to take. Seeing their faces light up when they learn something new brings me so much joy!

  Throughout the time I have spent childminding and studying EYFS (www.22streetlanenursery.co.uk/early-years-foundation-stage), I have gained many skills that can positively impact children’s lives to help them grow, learn and develop their social skills as well as many others. I find working with children fulfilling and very rewarding and I look forward to enhancing my skills further at an outstanding nursery.

  I am currently studying part-time for a BA (Hons) degree in ‘Working with Children, Young People and Families’ at Leeds Beckett University, and have over 4 years’ experience working with young children in different primary schools and nursery settings. I also spent a short time teaching in a school over in Uganda last summer, it was an eye-opening experience and it was great to see the importance of education across the world.

  In my spare time I enjoy going to the cinema, cooking and spending time with friends and family. I also now volunteer in a community centre as a youth worker.

  I look forward to joining the 22 Street Lane Nursery team and will aim to work together with the rest of the staff in our mission to give every child the best possible start in life!
