  About me:
 
I am an artist, specifically a painter. I graduated from The university of East London with a first class honours in Fine Art. I specialise in abstract art and psychology, for my dissertation I wrote about the link between contemporary artists and children's drawings. I am originally from Hertfordshire but I moved to London about five years ago. I am one of five children. My sister has three children and my brother one. My mother is also a nanny, and a Brownie guide leader- where I was a young leader (an assistant of sorts) and I been involved with working for charities such as the YMCA and Isabel Hospice, both of which required DBS checks which I can provide. I have spent my whole life surrounded by kids, I believe I get along with kids as well I do adults. In my spare time you'll find me in my studio, fixing, reading or cooking something or going on an obscenely long cycle somewhere. I'd say I'm a very open minded person and a good listener, I believe very strongly in mutual respect and thats between all ages, all genders, all races, all backgrounds. I'm currently a supervisor of a pub, I've worked in pubs since I was 18, which has been a wonder for my conversational skills and abilities to handle pretty much any situation you can think of, including a lot of responsibility.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
Work Experience 9 Yrs, references 3
I am the middle child of five children, I grew up surrounded by kids of all ages, not just at school but in every aspect of my life. My mother is a nanny to 5 children, and has been for the past 12 years, she is a qualified primary teacher but cannot work as my father is ill. She also runs a Brownie Guide pack, where I also worked as a Young Leader for five years. Which meant I was partly responsible for the care of 20+ children aged 5-11 years old, organising activities, accompanying them on trips etc. I had already personally attended Rainbows, Brownies and Guides under her instruction which turned out to the most beneficial thing she ever did for me. My sister has three kids and my brother one- whom I lived with before I moved to London and have babysat for more times than I can comprehend throughout all of their lives so far. I have done a lot of voluntary work which involved a lot of interaction with children. I've worked in pubs since I was 18 as my means of income, which in general has given me a great capability with adults and children. The majority of my experience has also required DBS Checks and extensive health and safety training. 
 
 
Childcare experience within the following age groups:
Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children

High School, Graduated High School or Equivalent, College, Bachelor's Degree 
I gained grades A*-C in my GCSE'S, continuing on to study Fine Art, English Literature and Photography at A level for one year. Then transferring to an Arts College where I gained an extended diploma in Fashion with Art and Design. I then chose to go to university where for the first two years I studied fashion design, then for another two years I studied Fine Art, which I have recently graduated from with a first class honours. I now hope to take some time out to typically, work, save and see before I consider my masters, as my ambition eventually is to teach.

Lee was my manager when I worked for Isabel Hospice and volunteered alongside me at YMCA. I have known this man for many years and although we don't work together anymore we have stayed in touch since.

As my mother was the leader of the brownie pack I was part of, I cannot provide her as a reference, so this is the woman who is also in command there and who I have known for many years and was my leader when I attended Brownies at the age of 7 and essentially my superior when I was a voluntary Young Leader at age 13
