Summary
I am a caring and enthusiastic educator who believes strongly in children being happy in their learning world. I have had many years experience as an educator and working within a classroom. I have a strong work ethic and work well in a team environment, however also work well alone. I have a relaxed and approachable manner. I have the ability to work in both the primary and kindergarten Education settings, and believe my knowledge and experience help a great deal to offer a nurturing and safe learning environment for all children. I have taken term 1 off to be more flexible for my young children and family, however I am keen to continue working casually as a teacher.
