I began my childcare career since leaving school to work for Bradford Council. I worked for the first 10 years as a Playgroup Worker, and during this time, gained the relevant qualifications to become a qualified Nursery Nurse, before becoming re-deployed due to end of funding. Still as a Bradford Council employer, I was sent on a number of placements, the first being to work in a Family Centre as a Trainee Community Resource Worker. I then went on placement to a Sure start Children's Centre, before applying for a post for a Bilingual Outreach Worker. For my hobbies and Interests I enjoy looking after children, cooking, cleaning and gardening, and also some outdoor activities like walking and playing with the children in the garden. I used to enjoy outdoor/indoor sports like badminton, netball, rounders etc. I also like to do D. I. Y. I love to paint and draw too. I used to draw Muriel’s and pictures representing children’s favourite characters from nursery rhymes and different types of animals etc. Other information. I am a married mother to three children of 18, 14 and a 6 year old. I had a career break for the first time in 20 years back in May 2009. The reason being was that I had moved down to London to join my husband’s side of the family and wanted to start a new life. I did plan to look for another job career but then went on to have another baby. He was born in May 2010, and I decided to be a stay at home mum, until I felt ready to go back to work. We moved back down to Bradford due to some change of circumstances, and felt ready to look for some part-time work to keep me busy once again. My first role back into working was February 2014 as a driver to escorting two young girls to school and back. I also volunteered in Children's Centre in November 2014 to January 2015. In January I also became a full time housekeeping to the same family, until July 2015, as the family emigrated abroad. I am now caring for a family member up to the present day. Daily chores include, cooking, cleaning and organising the whole household and taking care of their personal care and medical appointments. I see myself as a committed person, and have a record to stay within a job until the end. I am very passionate in the kind of work I do, and try my best to please others. I am a versatile kind of person and likes to try my hand at anything.
I can cook, clean, iron, and maintain a house up to the standard the client requires. I managed the daily running of a family home, from last February 2014 to July 2015, starting off doing the school run for two lovely girls, then my job increased to basic household chore which the duties included ironing, vacuuming, dusting, some occasional cooking when needed. According to what my employer requested, I would be flexible and available as and when I was needed. This position came to an end in July as the family emigrated abroad. Since then, I have become a carer to a family member, therefore having a similar role to before.
