Stella Scandrett
Papakura
Summary
I'm a friendly and enthusiastic person who has recently relocated to Papakura. I'm a natural people person who connects easily with both tamariki and adults, and I love creating warm, positive relationships with those around me. While I'm currently unqualified, I'm eager to grow in the early childhood sector and committed to learning as much as I can. I bring a caring, patient nature, strong communication skills, and a willingness to jump in and help wherever I'm needed. I'm confident in my ability to quickly pick things up and work well as part of a supportive, child-focused team. I'm especially passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where tamariki feel loved, heard, and free to explore and learn at their own pace. My long-term goal is to become a qualified Kaiako, and I'd love the opportunity to begin that journey with your centre contributing in a hands-on, meaningful way every day.
