I am a highly experienced early childhood educator with a number of years working within the industry across all age groups. As an educator I am compassionate, nurturing and am able to develop strong connections with children, their parents and other staff members. I demonstrate professionalism within the workplace and am reliable with all the tasks I dedicate myself to. I am looking to re-enter the workforce on a casual relieving basis.
