Summary
From a young age, I have always known that my place is working alongside young children. I am passionate about supporting their development, learning and growth. I have a natural ability to connect with young children, which is reflected in my work, part-time experience and volunteer involvement within the early childhood sector over the past four years. I have a strong focus on building positive, trusting relationships with children and enjoy working collaboratively as part of a team. I am reliable, hardworking and dedicated, with a positive can -do attitude and a genuine passion for children.
