Summary
I enjoy and find passion in building children’s confidence and interests, and I love watching them grow, learn, and become curious about the world around them. I am passionate about giving back to the community, with a strong focus on supporting the learning and wellbeing of children and their families. I hold a Certificate III and IV in Education Support, where I developed a love for working alongside children with additional needs and helping them succeed in their schooling journey. After taking time away from childcare to support my family and contribute to our family businessa, I returned to my studies to complete a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. This led me back into the education sector, where I continue to build my career while currently undertaking my Diploma in Early Childhood Education, which I aim to complete by the end of this year.
My hobbies include camping, exploring new food places, and spending time with family and friends. Family is an important part of my everyday life, shaping both my personal values and professional approach to supporting children and their families.
