:/

I always wanted to work with children, I want to be a teaching assistant in a primary school. I remember a teaching assistant I had in primary school in like year 5 that would come into lessons and take some of us in small groups for extra help like in my case eal. What do I have to do to get this?

Also I always thought teaching assistants don't talk to parents and if they do it's minimal i don't know because I never been one am very scared talking to parents am 19 I have anxiety and placements I done in early years I never talked to parents and am not the best at maths I have undiagnosed dyscalculia

so far I have done level 1 and 2 childcare but I want to be a teaching assistant in year 1 , would u recommend or am just a lost cause? Since am very scared to talk to parents 😔
