Paediatric First Aid
Mandy Aldhouse ­ Pre-School Practitioner
I have been working with children for the past nineteen years. I
have been a mid-day supervisor both at an infant and junior school
and in 1996 I was offered a position as a one-to-one support
worker within a Pre School. I have been a Key Person over the years
(five years' experience) and moved up to Deputy-Supervisor for a
year and finally became a Supervisor.
Due to family commitments, I changed my career to become a
Private Nanny looking after four different families' children over a
period of nine years.
I recently left my last family due to the youngest child starting school, so have now
returned back into a Pre -School position which I enjoyed participating in so much in
the past.
I have three grown up children plus one grand-child. My interests are gardening,
walking my two dogs, touring, art and looking after my grand -daughter.
