I’m a 25 year old mum of 2! I have a 2 year old son and I had my Daughter in June this year. I’m devoted to supporting emotional, social and educational development of children, offering safe and nurturing environments to help boost their learning.

My first job was at My World Waikiki Childcare where I worked for 6 years, I ran the toddlers room for 2 years and the babies room for the last 6 months before I left to go on maternity leave in January 2023 before having my son.

In May 2023, I returned to work but with Busy Bees Baldivis South. Being a first time mum returning to work was challenging but I found my feet eventually, I took on the toddlers room leader roll and worked 8 days a fortnight. After 3 months of being employed with Busy Bees Baldivis South I was offered a 2IC role which I took, I began working 5 days a week and continued working 5 days a week until my maternity leave in May 2025. I stayed as a room leader while navigating the 2IC role and eventually stepped into the Educational Leader roll temporarily. It was a challenging juggling so many roles but it was empowering seeing how much I could handle on my plate all at once while also navigating the challenges with mother hood. Eventually I went on a float role which allowed me to progress with the 2IC role, learning all that came with the job and building and flourishing with new skills.

I have a bubbly and outgoing personality but can also be reserved and quiet to begin with. I am eager to take on any challenges in front of me and adapt well to change.

I am able to start work as of the 31st of May 2023 when my maternity leave ends, I’m flexible with the hours and times I can start/finish but am only available to work;

First week- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Second week- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday.
