Summary

I believe in supporting emotional, social and academic development of young children. I'm a hard worker, who believes that working as part of a group to accomplish a nurturing caring environment is vital for a child's wellbeing.

I'm creative, friendly, supportive and motivated with a strong desire to promote individual learning and development. Offering many years of experience both as a mum and in the childcare industry.

I wish to study a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education, by learning hands on within the industry. I don't believe I will accomplish this by an on-line course. Thus the course I wish to enrol , I need to be employed. I am willing to volunteer to enable me more experience.
