Taylor Hill
Summary
After spending nearly two years kickstarting my career as an Early Childhood Educator. My dedication to evolve myself as an educator has led me to embark on an exciting new journey in Victoria, Australia. With a passion for teaching young children in setting the foundation for lifelong success. I am proven to quickly develop strong relationships with children through a friendly approach, patient demeanour, and excellent communication skills. I drive to promote optimal social, emotional, and academic development in a safe and nurturing environment.
I live an active lifestyle and enjoy being outdoors. I have held a long interest and involvement in the performing arts, particularly in dance, drama, and musical theatre. I keep fit through gym workouts, and through spending time outside wherever possible, my particular favourite is time spent at my favourite beaches in New Zealand with friends and family.
