Summary
All I have ever wanted to do is to work with children. I have a calm, caring and gentle nature which enables me to easily develop close and trusting relationships with the children I am supporting. I started by babysitting and volunteering in my local kindergarten while at college. I have gained a considerable amount of experience with children whilst working in various childcare centres. My skills were extended when given the responsibility of caring for a disabled child. This was a challenge developing communication and trust rewarded by the growth of a happy child who was thriving. I am passionate about helping children learn through play in a safe and happy environment.
