Let's hear it for the people who somehow know where everything is.

The glue sticks.

The missing jumper.

The child who "definitely wasn't talking."

Sound familiar?

If you've worked in a primary classroom before, you'll know that being a Teaching Assistant is about so much more than supporting lessons. You're the calm voice, the friendly face, the problem solver, and often the reason a child finishes the day with a smile.
