My journey started in Tigers Blanchardstown as a student. I carried out 11 weeks placement in Tigers as part of my college course and safe to say I loved every minute of It. I learned so much from working here I gained so much knowledge and skills from the whole team. After I got my level 6, I was eager to get back into Tigers and started part time while doing my college studies. Although that may seem like a lot, having managers and a team that has supported me so much in any way they could through this made this experience so positive for me. I was learning so much working in Tigers that I could never be taught in words. Their practice made this real. I went on to start full time in May after I finished college for the summer. Being in Tigers doesn’t feel like a job for me, I enjoy being there so much. Since working there, I have told one of my friends who is studying the same course as me about this job.  I couldn’t recommend Tigers enough to her. I kept reassuring her how lovely all the people are to work with, how supportive they are and how much she was going to learn coming to Tigers. She now works in Tigers and couldn’t be happier. I am so excited to grow in this job and experience so much more here. I can’t wait to hopefully finish my course get my degree and start a permanent full-time job in Tigers Childcare Blanchardstown.
