I am a Diploma qualified educator with over 10 years experience working with children, and over 4 years experience in a daycare setting.

I am a Diploma qualified educator, and have been involved in a number of community programs since I was 17; I was involved in the 'Kids Hope' program, was a Joey Scout leader for 2 years, I volunteered for a missions trip to a Philippines orphanage, and I am a leader at a local youth group. I have been working in a daycare setting for over 4 years, and would now like to work more closely with families, and spend more one-on-one time teaching a smaller number of children.

I am no stranger to poopy nappies or the general mess that children get themselves into. I encourage sensible messy play, and use these experiences to teach self expression, self control, boundaries and responsibility. I role model positive behaviour at all times. For example: When cleaning, I will allow the child to assist in their own way if they show interest. Just giving them a piece of paper towel (with no cleaner on it!) will allow them to copy my actions and learn co-ordination, routines and responsibility.

During my experience in childcare, I have become accustomed to working with many children at once. The demand on my time and skills can be high, but I prioritise my time and use the available resources to ensure that each child is safe, nurtured, and thriving.

I am an educator for children, but I am also a friend.

Childcare is my job, but it is also my passion.
