Summary

As a passionate and empathetic Early Childhood Educator with over two years of experience, I have developed a strong foundation in child-led learning, emotional support, and creating nurturing environments for young children. I have successfully completed my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and am currently studying towards my Diploma in Early Childhood Education to further expand my knowledge and skills in the field. My experience spans across various age groups, including working in the nursery and babies' room, as well as providing flexible support across all rooms within the centre. I pride myself on fostering a love for learning and creating spaces where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

I am now seeking an opportunity closer to my new home where I can continue to grow as an educator, contribute to a positive and supportive learning environment, and build lasting relationships with children and families.
