Lets talk about my first (real) job!

EN

1 more night! 1 more night! And then it’s time to celebrate the merriest day of the year with lots of food and relaxation in your comfy pyjamas! 

And!
I have finally got some footage of my current job and I can finally share it with you guys as we had Christmas celebration at my work as well with of course lots of yummy food!

I work with children with special needs that are around 4-6 years old.
I can’t really say what my occupation is because it’s quite diverse - as I teach, consult, take care, document, and talk with la parents and my favourite: to craft with the kiddos!

I happen to have a teacher degree (surprise surprise) and I’ve always told myself that I only want to work with the ‘normal’ kids. But what’s normal? My brother has autism but his body is functioning fine. I sound really picky and perhaps a bit scared and judgemental when I said that. Working with kids with special needs are fun and challenging! And for some reason a bit less stress than with the mainstream normal kids. I guess you have to taste and experience all things first.

I also feel blessed to able to find a job this quickly because I only graduated this year. I’m also blessed with the colleagues I have because they were really welcoming and taking away my awkwardness that I have sometimes…
So yes, this is my job! My first real job!

Anyway have a warm Christmas full of love and joy! I’ll have mine c:

Nog een nachtje slapen en dan is de tijd om lekker te ontspannen in je pyjama en lekker legaal veel te eten!
Ik heb eindelijk ook wat foto’s en info voor jullie over mijn huidige baan en die kan ik eindelijk vandaag met jullie delen! Want ook op mijn werk hebben we kerst gevierd met natuurlijk lekker eten!

Ik werk met kinderen met beperkingen van ongeveer 4-6 jaar oud op een school.
Mijn functie is vrij divers en ben wel overal op school werkzaam, zoals: assistentie verlenen, les geven, verzorgen, documenteren, met de ouder praten en het leukste: lekker knutselen en spelen met de kinders!

Ik ben bevoegd om les te geven aan kinderen en ik heb altijd tegen mezelf gezegd dat ik alleen met de doelgroep 'normale' kinderen wil werken. Maar wat is normaal? Mijn broer heeft autisme, maar zijn lichaam functioneert voor de rest prima. Wat klonk ik toch kieskeurig en misschien een beetje bang en veroordeeld toen ik dat zei. Werken deze doelgroep is namelijk leuk en ontzettend uitdagend! En gek genoeg is het werk ook minder stressvol dan met de reguliere kinderen.

Daarnaast ben ik blij dat ik een baan kan vinden zo snel, omdat ik dit jaar nog maar ben afgestudeerd. Ik ben ook blij met de collega's, want ze ontvingen me met open armen zodat ik sneller mijn eigen draai kon vinden op mn nieuwe werkplek.
Dus ja, dit is mijn werk! Mijn eerste echte baan zou ik zeggen c:

Ik wil jullie daarnaast nog en warme kerst vol liefde en vreugde wensen! Ik heb er zin c:


The kids does DIY!
I am also happy with the freedom given in being creative in my work!


And here's our Christmas lunch:
We had an American style Christmas lunch where the kids brought something from home to school!

 Cream buns were everyone's favorite!

One of my pupils love eating this 'Babybel' cheese snack and it's my first time eating it. 
Kind of an odd but pleasant taste this cheese thing!

Another perk: I get all the holidays that the kids has as well c: 
Merry Christmas!

  2. Merry Christmas! Crafting with the kids must be so much fun, and all that Christmas-themed food is adorable!

    I worked with special needs kids when I was in high school before. As a competitive swimmer for my school's varsity team, my job was to teach them how to swim or at least get them comfortable in the water.

    I ate Babybel cheese all the time when I was little :P I sometimes like eating them with crackers :) I always had so much fun playing with the red wax haha.

  7. I didn't know you were a teacher - that's amazing! You're doing amazing work! I actually used to work for a law firm that specialized in discrimination against special needs students. It was hard yet rewarding work!
    Love all of the pictures - looks like the party was a fun time!
