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 regularly care for my elderly parents.
