Passionate, nurturing, joyful and qualified Early Childhood Educator keen to see your child/ren thrive
Hello families! I'm a passionate Early Childhood Educator who believes that children deserve the best of care at all times. This involve far more than just looking after them, but nurturing and supporting them in their learning journey through daily fun activities and routines. I worked in an Early Learning Center for 6 years and volunteered in preschoolers' Sunday programs for 4 years. I speak Italian and I'm currently learning AUSLAN.
I'm reliable, punctual, loving and, most of all, passionate about children's holistic wellbeing. I'm nurturing and gentle by nature, but firm whenever required. I believe in positive behaviour guidance, giving children choices and responsibilities appropriate for their age. You'll be surprised to see how keen they are to learn to use their freedom wisely!
I enjoy spending time with children (especially the very young ones) and see them growing and learning. My desire is to support them - in partnership with their families - to become all that they can be.
I'm also an animal lover and the proud family to a 16yo and a 4yo cat. Therefore, if you have any pooch or kittie, know I'll cuddle them too!
Since I live in Blackburn, I'd love to help families in this area. I'm available to help on weekends and weeknights.
