Summary
Energetic Childhood Assistant Educator committed to encouraging intellectual, social and emotional development in children. Hands-on experience assisting in lesson planning, preparing classroom for activities and assisting children with toileting and meal needs. Currently studying Certificate III in Early Childhood Education. I have been with my current centre since August 2023 and have enjoyed every aspect of becoming an assistant educator. The connections I have made with the children and parents is so lovely. Being an educator has been my favourite job. Also being a mum myself it has also allowed me to fit in my role well as I understand what it means to love and nature children the way they need to be to become happy and comfortable in there environment. I am a great team player and fit in well where ever I am place in the centre.
