Summary

Since having my own children in 2014, I have become a professional childcare provider with focus on delivering high-quality educational experiences and fostering child development. I have a proven ability to create tailored learning plans and maintain a safe, nurturing environment.

Prior to having children I worked in the fashion Industry which involved product development for high volume apparel and various overseas trips. This was a fast paced environment where multitasking was essential.
