About Me...

I have previously worked as a teacher aid and previously worked as a youth support worker and current experience working as a youth mentor. I have both blue card (working with children) clearance and yellow card exemption disability. I have worked with behavioural clients and have done babysittibg for a number of friends. I have also helped raise my brother who is 20 years younger than me. I am simply looking to enjoy some time with little ones as I don't currently have any of my own.
