Lily, garde d’enfant à Huddersfield

Hello! My name is Lily; I am an enthusiastic, hardworking, caring and fun loving professional with a passion for working with children! I am a qualified childcare worker with a level 3 diploma in children's care, learning and development.

While studying for my diploma at college I was able to gain valuable childcare experience by volunteering in a range of childcare settings, gaining over 800 hours of professional experience. The details of this experience can be seen below:

I have worked in a nursery caring for children aged 6 months-2 years. In this setting I cared for the children's general needs and gained experience changing nappies, making bottle feeds and bottle feeding children.

I have worked in a pre-school with children aged 2-5 years. In this setting I made sure the children were happy and cared for, I planned and carried out activities and made sure the children were also learning through play as this is essential for their development.

Finally I have worked in a school with children aged 4-8. During my time in this setting I experienced a different approach to children's learning and I gained insight and knowledge on planning lessons and activities to meet national curriculum requirements.

I am currently employed in the same pre-school setting where I carried out my work experience and I am learning more and more about children's care, learning and development everyday. My hours at the pre-school are quite short, this means I have lots of spare time in the evening, and I would love to use my spare time to continue caring for children!

I am passionate about providing children with the best possible care and support as they grow and develop while making sure they are cared for in a happy, safe and stimulating environment! My role as a child care worker is to ensure the children's safety and happiness at all times, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in a nurturing environment.
