Amanda, garde d’enfant - EH23 Gorebridge

My name is Mandie and I'm a 36 year old mother of one. I am looking for a second job to fit around my current position at a special needs school. I have worked with children for about 12 years now in a variety of settings from private nursery, state pre school nursery, primary and secondary schools, both special needs and mainstream, and after school clubs and holiday provisions. I am a qualified childcare and development worker, I'm first aid at work trained, Team Teach trained, I have an elementary food hygiene certificate and have recently trained as a manual handling trainer. I have extensive knowledge on a variety of conditions and disabilities including Autistic Spectrum Disorders. I also have challenging behaviour management training. I have a full clean drivers licence.
I enjoy my job working with and caring for special needs teenagers but I would like a bit of a change for my second job while still using the skills and qualifications I have.
I am a laid back person with a fun attitude. I value good manners and can be firm but fair when needed. I enjoy playing games indoor and out but I equally enjoy helping children with their studies and homework. I like arts and crafts and baking also. I am looking for some work in the evenings primarily but would be available weekend evenings also if required for a slightly higher hourly rate. If you think I could be what your family are looking for, get in touch.
