Abigail: United Kingdom: Feb 19, 2024

I currently work at a private nursery as a nursery assistant and have taken online training courses in basic first aid, safeguarding level 2, Adverse Childhood Experiences, food allergy awareness, appropriate touching, ADHD and Autism in girls and recording observations. I believe that this nursery experience has allowed me to understand how children develop, and classroom management and get familiar with observing children's behaviours to understand their progression. I also have taken a 120-hour TEFL course that taught me about a variety of ways in which students are taught and allowed me to learn about and submit lesson plans. I also have a Film and English bachelor's degree with honours with a 2:1 grade. A lot of my work in university was surrounding the understanding of children in relation to children's literature and film so it allowed me to gain an interest in children's education. My personality has been described as empathetic, observant, and trustworthy and I can understand people's behaviours well. I believe I am organised and creative so creating lesson plans is rather enjoyable for me. I am an honest and clear yet empathetic communicator, and a good listener and believe in helping people as much as I can.
