Summary

I am a reliable individual who is completely confident in my abilities to work in a childcare setting. I am well educated in early childhood development and possess the abilities required to provide the best care possible for groups of young children. I have worked with children one-on-one or in groups with other classroom assistants. During my placement, I gained a great deal of insight into the carer path by working with children who have special needs. This has given me a wealth of information and self-assurance. I am confident that I would be a valuable asset and addition to your team.
