Personal Statement
I am a good communicator with the ability to adapt my approach to work with children and team members. I have a patient and sensitive manner and work well both in a team and as an individual. I would like to build on my childcare qualifications and work experience by taking on a role in social work sometime in the near future. I chose childcare as a career for me because I feel that all children have the right to feel safe and happy in a learning environment and seeing the children and parents smile and feeling pleased in their progress at the end of the day is what really matters to me.
