1
00:00:00,216 --> 00:00:02,996
The thing for me that I love
about my job the most
2
00:00:03,004 --> 00:00:05,994
is the bonds we have with the children.
3
00:00:06,024 --> 00:00:08,193
Helping them develop and grow,
4
00:00:08,193 --> 00:00:11,380
making them come into
independent thinkers and learners.
5
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:14,127
We plan a lot of activities for the children
6
00:00:14,127 --> 00:00:15,672
and give them first-hand experiences
7
00:00:15,672 --> 00:00:17,076
that they might not get at home.
8
00:00:17,076 --> 00:00:20,751
I left high school and
Went straight into college
9
00:00:20,751 --> 00:00:22,664
because I had the passion
for working with children,
10
00:00:22,664 --> 00:00:25,519
so I went straight into college
and did my CACHE Level 3.
11
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:27,299
When I finished my CACHE Level 3,
12
00:00:27,299 --> 00:00:28,931
I went for an interview at Hollies.
13
00:00:28,931 --> 00:00:30,582
I was lucky enough to get the job.
14
00:00:30,806 --> 00:00:33,228
Started off as a Nursery Nurse
15
00:00:33,412 --> 00:00:36,941
and then worked my way
up to Deputy Manager.
16
00:00:37,044 --> 00:00:40,544
As I was Deputy Manager,
I was able to do my Level 5.
17
00:00:40,634 --> 00:00:43,399
I think for me, what makes
me want to stay in the sector
18
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,702
is having the chance to develop,
19
00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:49,492
being able to go on lots
of training courses
20
00:00:49,492 --> 00:00:51,067
so you're always learning.
21
00:00:51,067 --> 00:00:54,216
You're giving the children
a flying start in life.
22
00:00:54,379 --> 00:00:57,383
We are focusing on all individual
needs of the children,
23
00:00:57,383 --> 00:00:59,004
so it helps them develop physically,
24
00:00:59,004 --> 00:01:00,685
mentally and emotionally.
25
00:01:00,685 --> 00:01:03,281
You're giving the children
a safe and warm environment
26
00:01:03,281 --> 00:01:05,259
to help them grow, learn and develop.
27
00:01:05,259 --> 00:01:07,629
The children going home
and talking to their parents
28
00:01:07,629 --> 00:01:09,595
and saying about their journey at Hollies
29
00:01:09,595 --> 00:01:10,901
and what they've been up to on the day
30
00:01:10,901 --> 00:01:12,947
is just so fulfilling and rewarding.
