Summary

I would describe myself as profession, honest, trustworthy, organised and dependable.

I work well independently and as a team member, can successfully manage multiple priorities with a positive attitude and I am confident in problem solving.


I have many years experience in the Early Childhood Education field, I studied my certificate 3 as trainee and went onto further my studies. My last position held was Centre Director at ABC childcare as they were transitioning into the Good Start company they are today.

I spent 10 years out away from Early Childhood industry as I raised my own 3 children, I did start my own small business in cleaning services though this provided me with flexibility while my children were young. I also was able to support both my mother and stepfather in their final years.

I returned to the Early Childhood industry in 2024 with Country Kids Early Learning and Kindergarten when the centre first opened, although there had been significant changes within the industry, I quickly familiarised myself with the general changes, however more importantly the National Quality Areas, Early Years Learning Framework, Programming.
