Skills

Reading skills –  I can bring the written word

to life through energetic and enthusiastic story telling.

I am proficient in scary dragon voice and wimpy Pooh Bear voice, with a willingness to learn more accents and pitches.

I have significant experience with Julia Donaldson and Dr. Seuss, and I am keen to explore new fields that don’t include words like ‘yuzz-a-ma-tuzz’ and stories about cocky mice in deep dark woods.

Computer skills – Significant training and experience using Microsoft Office. Hours spent on these valuable tools are transferable to the home

environment. 

I am now a ‘super user’ of the CBeebies application on a variety of mediums (iPhone, iPad, shitty £30 off brand kids tablet).

I have located Swashbuckler’s Gem’s treasure on multiple occasions and have also made the smug arse Captain Cockwomble walk the plank.

Management experience – I have significant experience managing junior staff and can use tact, diplomacy and kindness to encourage colleagues to reach their full potential.

These skills can help in the home environment by encouraging self-dressing,

self-feeding, self-teeth brushing and self-arse wiping. In my experience, this encouragement involves persistent reminding of the necessity of clothes and assisting with discovering the location of head, arm and leg holes.

I am able to repeat phonics and sound out words like a Brit ordering a drink in a Benidorm pub. Loudly and slowly.

Meeting Deadlines –  My previous professional experience of submitting Board level reports has put me in good stead to meet challenging deadlines.

I recognise future deadlines include but are not

limited to:

ironing 1,458 labels into school uniforms
getting to school on time twice a day

paying extra curricular activity term fees (nearly) on time
hitting the vague window of 12-1 for lunchtime. I am very aware that it’s vital this time window is met or hanger ensues.

Calm under pressure – I have met Prime Ministers, visited Buckingham Palace and flown overseas for my professional career, and so I know how to emanate an air of calmness and serenity in exceptional situations.

I am optimistic I can

transfer these skills and use them to take two toddlers to a farm during half term, in the midst of a summer fate, after a bag of chocolate buttons, on little to no sleep.

I can also sing Michael Jackson songs really loudly, in a car, with the windows open, in rush hour, to assist a sleepy toddler in staying awake. With a 35% rate of success.

Project Management – I have been responsible for creating and enforcing the project management RASCI model in my previous roles and can use that method to ensure that I am all of the letters

contained within this handy acronym in the home environment.

Responsible, Accountable, Suffering, Crying, Irritable*

* acronym has been adapted. 

Experience in the field

Jo Jingles – I have said hello to Jo more times than I can stomach count.
Monkey Music – 15% of classes interacted with, 85% spent chasing a toddler around a church hall. Whilst pregnant.
Little Kickers – not sure what this is about as spent most of the time wanting to little kickthe coach in the balls. But experience nonetheless.
Various ballet

and dance schools – see Monkey Music for percentages of engagement.
Aqua Tots – nervously dunking my 6-month-old under the water because the only just post pubescent instructor said to. Stuck it out despite crying after most sessions.
Variety of soul destroying soft play facilities – experienced in encouraging voice, asking/ requesting/ insisting each sibling plays with each other, dislocating at least one knee cap per session and receiving 4,566 counts of static shock from the bright terrifying tunnels.
Playground – well versed at

saying ‘wait your turn please’ only for six other children to push past. Highly experienced at biting my lip and silently counting to ten.

All for a hazy period of time at different intervals between 2013 and 2017.
Employment
Professional career and roles excluded as not relevant in this challenging new environment.

Gaa Gaa Land is a collection of ramblings from a stay at home mum of two. Although said ramblings might veer into the serious from time to time, this blog is largely satire. GGL uses humour, irony and exaggeration to amplify this crazy parenting ride, but everything is from real life. It’s all true. Even the embarrassing bits. N is in her mid late thirties and enjoys writing, F1, early 2000’s UK Gladiators, picking play doh out of her hair, cooking, Game of Thrones, stationary, innuendo and swearing. She loves her kids, husband, friends, the Dalai Lama, Bjork and is partial to a Cliff Richard calendar (classic examples of brilliance – 1996 and 2010). She also thinks it’s weird writing in the third person.
