When I was 15 and 16, I did some babysitting. After secondary school, I worked at a nursery for three and a half years. I completed first aid and childcare courses, but as that was a few years ago, they will have lapsed. For my education, I went to an international school in Spain, where I did MYP, which is the equivalent of GCSEs.

I will be taking a Pediatric First Aid course on November 1st. I have taken this before, but you need to retake them every three years. This training will equip me with essential skills for handling emergencies involving children, including first aid techniques and how to respond in critical situations.

  • Reading/storytelling
  • Arts/crafts
  • Sports
  • Nature
