Summary
My career to-date has been devoted to enhancing the lives of children. Above all else, I am highly motivated to provide a caring, nurturing and supportive environment for children by promoting learning as fun and allowing each child to become the best version of themselves. During my career as an Education Assistant, I have provided tangible support for students, including students with special needs. My passion for my role as an Education Assistant and as a private Nanny, enables me to connect with all members of the school community in a positive way. My ability to work collaboratively and cohesively with my peers, teachers and parents, ensures students are provided with every opportunity to flourish socially, emotionally and academically.
