I have worked with the public for many years and gained a lot of experience in how to connect and respect people's individual needs. I would consider myself to be happy and hardworking and someone who is always up for a challenge and a laugh. I had a change of profession a little while ago to try something new after working within childcare for many years. As a bar staff member, which is something I thoroughly enjoyed. I did return to childcare back in January 2023. Now looking for a new profession to fit around my busy family life and to grow and develop new skills. I have basic knowledge of running a professional social media account, I have helped a family friend start up their social media accounts when they started their own business, creating reels, posts, lives and posters on apps such as Canva and CapCut. I do have a growing personal social media account where I learn new techniques and skills all the time - while engaging the viewers creating content within my niche of 'family life'. I also do affiliate marketing on the account. I have been working with children since 2012, when I started working as a face painter at children's parties and community events. I also had nursery placements whilst at secondary school and college. I have previously held many DBS certificates (I have paper copies of those I will be happy to provide if you require).
