I am a Compassionate Early Childhood Educator with passion for teaching and supporting young children in setting foundation for life-long success. Proven to quickly develop rapport with children through friendly approach, patient demeanour and excellent communication skills. Organised with exceptional work ethic and dedication to completing projects. Skilled in both independently motivated and collaborative team settings.
I personally feel like these skills will work in perfectly with being a swimming teacher.
