I am currently year 13 at Middleton Grange school taking ECE (early childhood education) as apart of my NCEA studies, learning about the way children's minds work, how to properly communicate with children, and behavioural management. I have found these skills to be transferable in my current job in coaching football for children from 18 months - 5 years old. In addition to child management through my current job I have learnt customer service, communication and time management. It is important to me to ensure a positive and enriching environment for early learning through sports.
I also regularly babysit for local families.
