Summary
Compassionate Diploma trained Early Childhood Educator with a background in creating child safe, engaging, play based and nurturing environments to support early childhood development.
Skilled in program planning and implementation and excelling in building trusting and meaningful relationships with children and families.
Expert in documentation and record keeping inline with current Early Years Learning Framework and NQS.
Committed to ensuring the developmental milestones and individual goals of each child are met by providing inclusive environments for all developmental levels. Each child is unique, valued and respected. It is paramount that all children feel a sense of belonging, feel safe, secure and supported.
I am looking to explore a new direction after holding my current position as an early childhood educator for almost 10 years.
I would love the opportunity to use my experience, qualifications and genuine love of children to create a difference in children's lives by helping to facilitate contact visits between families and children in care.
