PROFILE

I am a motivated, responsible and caring student looking for work in childcare.

I have been working with children for four years and have been told that the children really love me and look forward to my visits. I have always found that children respond well to my calm and gentle nature.

Childcare is a great passion of mine and I would love to continue working in this field.
