My name is Barbara, and I am a very conscientious student, currently studying A-levels. I'm 17 and I have previously done work experience for two weeks in a care home which helped me build experience with working in stressful and rather unsual situations. I therefore feel I would be able to cope with not only the more fun activities in childcare but also the more stressful situations. I also have a little sister and many cousins and therefore feel I have adequate hands on experience in helping look after them. I speak 3 languages, including English, Iranian and Italian and would therefore be able to interact with any multicultural children and also have an AS level in french.
