What I'm looking for

I am seeking a childcare role where I can apply Level 3 training, paediatric first-aid, and planning skills to support children’s development in a safe, collaborative environment with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a proactive, detail-orientated early years practitioner with Level 3 childcare training and hands-on experience caring for groups of children in nurseries, as a family nanny, and through volunteer teaching. I bring strong time-management, observation and planning skills, paediatric first-aid certification, and a proven track record of taking on increased responsibility while delivering safe, engaging learning environments.

Alongside childcare I have practical retail and hospitality experience where I developed customer service, till operations, upselling and complaint-handling skills. I am bilingual (Portuguese/English), adaptable, and committed to continuous professional development in safeguarding, food hygiene and autism awareness to support children and families effectively.
