Summary
As an Education Support Worker, I have supported children with additional needs in the classroom, while also assisting as a Prep Assistant. During this time, I developed a strong passion for working with younger children, which led me to take on casual work in the school's kindergarten. My experience in these roles has been incredibly rewarding, and as a mother of four, I find it comes naturally to help children grow and thrive. Currently, I am pursuing a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, eager to continue my professional development and transition into a role focused on nurturing and supporting the development of young children.
