When you see them achieving the milestones and seeing them grow, get more confidence, you feel a sense of accomplishment for yourself as well as the child.

So yeah, you feel like not part of the family, but do you know what I mean? You feel

really connected with the child and their family.

So it's lovely to see.

That must be a big part as well, you know, building that relationship and rapport with the parent.

Yeah.

You're part of the Duke of Edinburgh programme, aren't you, as well? So what's that been? And just talk me through that.

Some parts have been challenging, some parts a bit easier.

We've just finished the final qualifying expedition.

That was in the Yorkshire Dales.

Tough? Yeah.

Yeah? Yeah.

I never knew how to read a map before, so that's another skill.

But I do love it here.

Especially, I love seeing the children grow.

So yeah, it's a lovely place to work.

I recommend it to anybody.
