I have been employed at Riverbank after school care since May 2021. I am currently a level 3 educator which is a role I have earned through achieving expectations and being dedicated to my role and to the children. This role brings many new challenges and responsibilities some in which include, running areas, signing in children, running headcounts, speaking to parents and building positive relationships with both parents and children, training new staff, liaising with team leaders to implement programs and activities for the children. filling out forms such as incident reports, assisting in meal preparation and food handling, behaviour management, effective supervision, cleaning duties and running the inclusion area. I work closely with all of the special needs children who attend Riverbank and continue to help implement routines and strategies for them.

I started volunteering at Mtt Druitt Hospital specifically within the palliative care unit in December 2021 due to a family member working there. I assist in helping organise raffles to help with funds for personal care product for patients, baking for Easter and mothers day and every Christmas I help decorate the unit for the patients and there families.
