Summary

I have a creative mind and very much value and enjoy joining in child centered, curiosity based, hands on learning. I have a positive enthusiastic approach and am able to find joy in the day to day of working with children.

I love getting to know the individual child, understand their strengths and weaknesses and supporting them build their confidence and have a go.

I believe that children's curiosity and interests should be the basis for lessons and activities.

My ideal learning environment is warm, inviting, colorful and fun.

Music is my passion and a great tool to have as children of all ages are drawn to it, whether it be a listen sing along, dance, sooth or take comfort. I am able to play the guitar and sing.

I am currently looking for work in retail as i am excited to learn something new and experience new challenges.
