 Claire Leishman – Profile

Qualifications

BA Education

Basic Youth Work (Achieved 2001)

Experience

Claire has worked with children and young people in a number of settings since the age of 15, as well as being a regular babysitter for family and friends for as long as she can remember! In 2001 she completed a course on basic youth work and worked in various youth clubs with children aged 8-12. In 2003 she worked briefly as a volunteer tutor for children with learning difficulties before deciding that education was her calling and embarking on a Primary Education degree course after completing one year of a Psychology degree course, which she feels helped her to understand development that little bit more.

During her spell at university Claire learned a wide range of valuable skills and knowledge about learning and teaching and as part of her course worked in a number of primary schools teaching children between the ages of four and eleven. Part of the course also focused on nursery education and another on early development. This highly interested her and she decided that instead of teaching she would follow a career path in early development, as she feels that the first year of a child’s life is the most important and wanted to pursue a career in helping parents to make the most of this time.

Claire has also gained a variety of transferable skills through her involvement in various other activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh Award and the Scottish Youth Parliament. She has excellent communication and interpersonal skills and is not afraid of a challenge! She is very much looking forward to bringing these skills to the Baby Sensory experience and sharing her love of babies’ learning and early development with parents.
