PERSONAL STATEMENT
.
I am a confident, out-going and hard working person, always organised and punctual and easy to be around. I have a great deal of experience working with children. From my volunteer work with Bernados working with disabled children, to after-school childcare, I have learnt how to work with children from all walks of life and in many different contexts. I am able to well communicate with them, maintain discipline but also have fun with them and help them to develop. I find working with children endlessly interesting and very rewarding. I always adhere to the wishes of the parents as to what kinds of activities they wish their children to partake in, but within this try to be creative and stimulating in what we do. I am responsible, professional and flexible in my attitude towards my work. On a personal level, I am friendly and easy to get along with. I very much enjoy working with other people, am energetic and always work to the best of my ability.
