I am seeking a new and challenging carer working with children who are at risk, disadvantaged, and alone. In the past few years I have just completed my Diploma in Social Studies and plan to continue my studies in 2026 by starting a Diploma of Child, Youth and Family Intervention. Whilst I am an enthusiastic, professional, hardworking and compassionate individual that has had personal experience in supporting children and families through challenging circumstances, I am eager to get professional experience as this is the sector I want to work in. I strive to achieve the best in all areas and am always eager to learn new skills that will further advance my career. As a self-motivated individual, with impeccable written and verbal communication skills, and excellent interpersonal skills, I ensure that all obligations are meet and that my clients as well as their family, friends, co-workers are happy, looked after and content. I am accustomed to working in challenging, fast-paced environments and am particularly good at dealing with multiple projects and priorities at the same time. My career objective is to work with children and help them with implementing ways to ensure that they stay out of the Juvenile System.
