Summary
I have had a keen interest in supporting and working alongside children from a very young age and hope to build a long term career in this industry. I am currently Diploma qualified in Early Childhood Education and Care and have experience in various roles at a centre level. I am well organised, honest and reliable. I carry out my duties to a high standard and find this to be personally rewarding and very satisfying. I am easy going, self motivated, empathetic and a good decision maker. I work well both independently and in a team environment, and communicate well at all levels. I am open minded and have the ability to converse respectfully with people of all ages from varying backgrounds and cultures.
