Joanne, baby-sitter à Tingley WF3

Hi, my name is Joanne . I am married with two grown up children. I am looking for part time or full time work looking after children as a mothers help within the Morley/Tingley area.
I am not currently working, as I used to work in retail, but that it is not what I want to do, I have wanted to find a job working with children for some time now.
Apart from raising my own children, I have experience of caring for children in a nursery and a primary school age environment. I volunteered in my local school when my children were small and I loved it. I helped the class teacher with various tasks ie. reading with the children on a 1-1 basis and in small groups, helping with numeracy, setting up play and crafts activities ( ie play dough, painting, drawing etc ). I then gained a paid employed position within another school after gaining references from the volunteer role. There i did similar tasks as before and also helped on playground duties and accompanied the teachers on trips and outings to help supervise the children.
I love children of all ages and have a good rapport with them, I have a maternal instinct which i feel is so important.
I have always wanted to work with children again but as I have no formal qualifications it is difficult to find a job in nurseries, schools etc.
I can give references, one being a teacher of the school I volunteered in.

I am an honest, caring and kind person with a friendly nature. I am great with children because like I said, I have a maternal instinct to be able to build good relationships with them, and as I have worked in a school and raised my own children, I can relate to them. When my children were little, I felt it was important to interact and learn with them, ie reading, thinking of games for them to do, ie dressing up, painting, making cards etc, . and generally looking after their well being and development.

Working with children, gives me that feeling of job satisfaction and fullfillment , which I did not have in my past jobs.
