“I’ve always dreamt of being a kids rep abroad but never really thought I’d get there. After completing the Level 3 Childcare course and gaining a place at the University of Derby to complete my Primary Teacher training, I decided that before getting stuck into Uni, I’d like to apply to be a Kids rep. Fast forward three years on and I couldn’t be happier that I made that decision. I’m honestly living the dream, doing both things I’ve always wanted to do, work with children and travel the world. I absolutely love my job, making great holiday memories with all the children and families that come on holiday. I’ve not long been home from my fourth season with TUI, and hopefully will be heading to Crete this summer when it’s safe to do so.

I couldn’t be more thankful to all my teachers at Tamworth College that helped me progress to where I am today! I highly recommend the Early Years course, it really helped me develop the skills I needed, gave me tons of experience with working with children and really helped build my confidence”.

A huge thanks to Ellie for sharing your story. We are so proud of your achievements during and after your time at college.
