Summary

I am a highly motivated childcare worker in Hamburg Wilhelmsburg with a special interest in working with children from different nations and cultures. I am experienced in working with people of different cultures, different language skills and the associated difficulties that can arise.

I have a great interest in helping them to develop their personality, their self-development and, in particular, their language development. At my workplace i am responsible for the children's language development in all 5 groups. The children in our facility need this special tuition as they often speak German as a second language.

In order to promote the children's language development in the best possible way. I offer individual activities such as looking at picture books and everyday interaction such as cooking in the children's kitchen , building things. Even putting on shoes or washing hands is accompanied by language.

I am a patient, caring and responsible childcare provider who is passionate about maintaining children's communication and interaction through various activities in a safe and enjoyable environment and has excellent communication and interpersonal skills to ensure children's wellbeing and their development.

I intend to do so by communicating effectively with my colleagues, children and their parents and aim to support each individual child in their personal and linguistic development in the best possible way.
