Summary
Dedicated and passionate, with a Diploma in Early Childhood, I have advanced from an assistant educator to a Lead Educator role, covering Nursery to Kindergarten. I am now currently Assistant Director and leading the Pre-Kindy group.
Continually seeking growth opportunities, I uphold high standards of hard work and prioritize establishing strong connections with families. My experience with children from diverse backgrounds has underscored the significance of inclusion in a child's development.
With personal transportation and local residence, I am flexible regarding shift times. Recognized for my dependability and strong work ethic, I excel in collaborative team environments.
