Summary
I am a passionate, dedicated and skilled Early Childhood Teacher currently teaching four year old Kindergarten at Jenny’s Early Learning Centre in Strathfieldsaye. In 2019, whilst studying my Certificate III at Bendigo TAFE, I commenced placement at Jenny’s and was offered an ongoing position where I completed my Certificate III through practical outcomes. I have worked at Jenny’s ever since with wide-ranging experience across all age groups of children attending their day care program. During this period I have also continued my studies, completing firstly my Diploma and then Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care.
With almost six years of experience in the early childhood sector I have developed a profound passion in supporting children’s development and exploring the best ways to allow children to grow and learn whilst supporting their current needs and interests. I work well in a team and am able to effectively delegate tasks, plan and implement relevant programs and have been involved in assessment and rating.
I am continuously seeking to advance my skill set and feel the time is right for me to move to a new early childhood provider, preferably one allowing me to focus on kindergarten aged children and their development/care. I know I can utilise my skills and experience to be a valuable team member and contributor to a new employer, whilst personally benefiting from a new work environment and the varied experiences that come with such a change.
