Summary

I have finished studying for my Level 3 Early Years Diploma in Child Care and Education. I am interested in working in a primary school because I think I can work well with children and want to gain more knowledge of early years and EYFS framework when experiencing this with children. I am an honest, hardworking and reliable person, as shown throughout my college course. I'm able to stay organised accurately and meet deadlines when needed, which I have demonstrated when writing assignments. I thrive when working as part of a team and independently, based on what suits the task. In addition, I have had excellent attendance and punctuality throughout college. I am also dedicated towards my work, and I have taken an interest in curriculum activity in my university as a part time student ambassador job. This is what I have experienced for the first time in university as I have encouraged myself to take part in these types of activities as this was a great opportunity for me as well as I really enjoyed becoming a student ambassador. Although I motivated myself to gain new skills. I have good communication skills when communicating with other people. I am focusing on meeting up my punctuality by going to work or meetings on time. This is the skill which I am improving regularly.
