Meet Hannah
I work for fabulous Tory in Water Babies North Yorkshire.
I wanted to train to become a teacher as I was already attending lessons with my son Archie, which I LOVED, and I could really see myself on the other side wearing orange and blue.
I am also so grateful for the opportunities for carer progression within Water Babies.
I work for fabulous Tory in Water Babies North Yorkshire.
I was employed between lockdowns in 2020 and was even sent home from my course in Devon with the Amazing Ali P a day early because of new COVID restrictions!
What I love about the job- a lot of things! My swimmers, having a good rapport with my swimmers and carers makes the job so much easier and fun.
Watching my swimmers progress and develop. Now that we teach mainstream, we get the opportunity to be part of the swimmers journey after they graduate from the baby programme and it’s a pleasure to be part of this.
I am also so grateful for the opportunities for carer progression within Water Babies.
Since starting in my teaching role, I then went on to train to be a Mentor, completed my level 2, my Dipper training the wonderful Jacqui, then more recently became Senior Teacher for the franchise.
I’m so passionate about now using my own knowledge and skills to now help within the team of teachers.
So, for anyone thinking of joining Water Babies I would say 1000% do it!
It is honestly one of the best things I have done!Not only is the work enjoyable and fun, it works well around my family life as well.
I have not looked back!

How our lessons work

Skills are taught through song, play and repetition, so there’s never a dull moment when you’re in the pool.

Our teachers will tailor each lesson to your little one’s ability, so it’s only when they’re ready, we’re ready.
