Summary

I moved to Australia back in 2008 and met my partner in 2010. We now have 4 beautiful children together, aged between 11 and a 1 year old. With nearly 10 years experience in the Early Childcare industry, I've always had a passion and dedication in fostering and creating safe learning environments for all students whilst implementing the appropriate teaching strategies to observe each individual reach their goals. I have completed my Teacher Aid training at Saint Joseph's College Coomera and am familiar with the expectations and routines, the teachers, Inclusive Education Department staff and students. I can relieve teacher aides from Primary to Secondary but am predominantly interested in the Primary levels.
