I am a mature and experienced nursery assistant, who relishes the opportunity to undertake new

challenging situations. I have worked in a variety of sectors over the years, ranging from

administration, sales, care sector and now childcare. From 2000, I started working in after school clubs

around the Croydon area and then progressed to nurseries, after gaining the necessary qualifications.

Working in a school setting has been beneficial in gaining new skills. I have also worked on a one to

one basis with children who have additional needs.
