Toni, garde d’enfant à Carlisle

Hi, my name is Toni and I am 18 Years old. I am looking for some experience and extra responsibilities as a childcarer. I have already gained experience working with children as I have worked with a couple of classes of children in a local primary school as part of a volunteer work placement for the last two years. I have enjoyed the time I have spent with the Army Cadets of Cumbria which I have been involved with since the early age of 12. The Army cadets are based upon determination, resilience, discipline, respect, integrity and loyalty. I am very fortunate as to have adopted these qualities and skills at such a young age and have been able to develop upon them through my academic progression. NCS has been another volunteer program that I am very pleased to have completed in the summer of 2015. At school I do health and social care which is a constant reminder of all the different skills, legislation and ideas I should be looking at and taking into consideration when delivering quality care to both children and more vulnerable adults. To further my education I am looking into becoming a primary school teaching assistant in the very close future as I have received recommendations from senior members of staff to put forward for this. My qualities come with me wherever I go, for example, the skills I have learned in cadets and in my primary school volunteer placement have taught me that I am a very generous person with my time and I enjoy to give a lot back to the community. The skills in my work show off when I communicate to both parents and children. From working closely in small groups of children based in the classroom to going on school trips. I have been given numerous amounts of tasks, which came with responsibilities and I have always pulled through and shown them that they were right to trust me.
