years of professional experience
I’m a caring, patient and enthusiastic individual with a genuine passion for working with children, supporting their learning and development. Currently I’m studying part-time at the University of Canterbury towards a career in primary school teaching. I consider myself a reliable, responsible and nurturing person who enjoys building positive relationships and creating a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for children. I’m eager to gain more experience in early childhood education, continue developing my skills and contribute positively to a supportive team.
