Summary
Working with children has always been my interest and my passion, children are the future, and it is extremely rewarding being a vital part of some of the most important developmental years of a child. I have worked in many roles over the years in early childhood such as starting as an assistant educator in the Nursery, Lead educator in the Nursery, Toddlers and have also worked as an Educational Leader and taken on the role of Acting Director too. In 2024 I had my son and worked on the farm a lot more which drove me to want to learn about how to care for animals and be more hands on with knowledge for my partner too. This has then pushed me into the direction of becoming a Vet Nurse and studying further into livestock.
