SOPHIE WARD

Bonville

Summary

I pride myself on being a dedicated, compassionate, and adaptable individual who thrives in dynamic environments. I am eager to learn and have a history of meeting company goals, by being very consistent and organized.


Currently, I am studying for my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, and I am eager to apply my knowledge and enthusiasm in a practical setting.

Through my studies this far, I have gained a solid foundation in child development principles, learning frameworks, and effective communication strategies with young children and their families.


In addition to my academic background, I have previously been employed at Mary Help of Christians Primary School, Toormina as a Teachers Aide which is where I have developed my passion for nurturing and assisting children (especially kinder and year 1/2) in their learning and helping them feel valued by encouraging them to explore their interests. Through this job role I assisted educators in daily activities and learned the importance of teamwork and effective classroom management. This experience has enhanced my ability to create a positive and stimulating learning environment, and I am committed to ensuring that each child’s needs are met.


I am eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your team.
