Summary
I am a driven, dynamic and fun professional with a passion for working in a people focused environment. My experience working in early childhood education makes me a great candidate for an entertainment role and I have a proven track record of capturing the attention of and engaging children in activities I have planned.
I always think creatively to make what I deliver fun for everyone and I demonstrate good sound knowledge of children's development. I know what it takes to ensure that needs are met through the planning of fun energetic activities. I have the ability to be adaptable in my approach, and take great care & thought when it comes to planning.
I am positive, hard working and personable in nature and after working with children, I would like to use my skills to develop into an entertainment role. My experience travelling to Turkey means I speak a little of the language and understand many of the words & phrases I could use in a working day. I love the country and would really like to give back to such a wonderful place by being a part of other families' enjoyment. An opportunity like this is suited to me and I have the skills, knowledge, experience & drive to be a great addition to an animation team. I hope to be considered for a position and I look forward to discussing further so I can prove myself to be the candidate you need.
