Summary
Aspiring Special Education teacher with 2 years of experience as a Student Learning Support Officer (SLSO). Passionate about nurturing and educating children, I initially fell in love with teaching while working in a Kindergarten class, witnessing the rapid growth and learning of young children, which ignited my passion for education.
My journey as an SLSO reinforced my dedication to making children's lives happier and better through education. This commitment led me to embark on a teaching degree in early 2023. My enthusiasm and love for life reflect in my vibrant and bubbly personality.
I prioritise a healthy and active lifestyle, practicing hot yoga daily, and enjoying cooking as a hobby. For the past two years, I've been preparing nutritious meals for my Mum and partner, experimenting with new and healthy recipes, while also baking delicious and health-conscious treats.
My loving, caring, and nurturing nature has consistently made children feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I am excited to bring my passion for education, creativity, and nurturing spirit to provide the utmost care and support to your family. With experience in managing household tasks, such as tidying up and ironing, I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and organised environment for your children while delivering exceptional care and support.
