Intro

My creativity and passion for children, and my commitment to each and every child, allow me to create a stimulating, fun environment for children in my care. Further, by embedding routines into practice and having high expectations of the children, I am able to cultivate a calm, purposeful environment, and to manage behaviour very effectively. This has been aided by my extensive knowledge of early childhood development, from both my Psychology degree at Loughborough University and engaging with CPD training. In my current teaching role, I like to focus on learning through play and interaction with the natural world in our forest school and while I absolutely love teaching, I would now like to re-visit working with children in a nannying capacity. I love to play, organise games and get creative with children. Tailoring experiences and activities to the children's development and interest is an aspect which I particularly enjoy. In addition, I am very sporty and love to be outdoors. My absolute passion is skiing and I have been fortunate enough to have skied in and around the Portes Du Soleil (where my parents live) since I was just 3 years old. To care for children whilst spending time in this resort is a real dream of mine and I look forward to having this opportunity.

Qualifications

I have a depth of experience working with children, including nannying, private tutoring and teaching children aged up to 10 years of age. Working with children of this age involves being responsible for all aspects of their development, from supporting and stimulating social development, to aiding and guiding children with gross motor skills (feeding, toileting etc). As well as being experienced with the daily teaching responsibilities of my own class, I have also had managerial responsibilities in a previous setting of 120 children (4 classes) and 6 full-time members of staff, comprising of both experienced and new practitioners.

What truly sets Beatrix apart is her fun and engaging manner with children. She brings an infectious energy to her work that makes learning and playtime enjoyable for everyone involved. Her creativity and sense of humor allow her to craft activities that not only captivate the children's imaginations but also create a joyful and lively atmosphere. The children she works with are always excited to spend time with her, and her positive influence is evident in their smiles and laughter. Beatrix is also highly reliable and organized. You can always count on Beatrix to be punctual, prepared, and ready to step in wherever she is needed. Her ability to balance professionalism with a fun-loving nature makes her an invaluable asset in any role involving the care and education of children. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Beatrix for the past year and would highly recommend her for a position.
I am pleased to recommend Beatrix who has been an outstanding teacher in Nursery, working with children aged 3-4 years old. She taught 60 children across two classes, skillfully adapting lessons to accommodate different abilities, including children with severe special educational needs and those learning English as an additional language. Beatrix excels in behaviour management and creates a positive, inclusive classroom environment. She also has a particular passion for outdoor provision, integrating outdoor learning experiences that significantly benefit the children’s development. Additionally, Beatrix effectively handled managerial duties, such as paperwork and organisation, ensuring smooth nursery operations. Beatrix has a natural rapport with children and would be a valuable asset to any childcare setting. Sincerely,
