I am a dedicated, caring childcare professional with over 10 years experience and extensive knowledge of child development and the education system. I have worked with children of all ages, and ranging from sole charge positions, to working within private and public settings. I pride myself on my ability to listen, adapt and implement change in a calm and reliable manner.
I am sensitive to the individual needs of every child and believe clear communication, a calm demeanour and building a strong rapport allows for a nurturing environment in which each child can flourish.
I am passionate about creating and tailoring learning opportunities to suit the needs of every child, regardless of their age or ability. I am a big advocate for outdoor learning and believe learning through play and hands-on, real life experiences is extremely important for growth and development.
