Stephanie Watson
Shailer Park,QLD
Summary
My name is Stephanie Watson, i am a dedicated and punctual worker with a strong background supporting children ranging in ages from newborn to Primary School, as well as 7 years experience providing lifestyle, leisure and educational programs for those in Community Care settings.
From November 1st 2022 i will have completed my certificate III in Early Education and care. I also hold a certificate IV in Leisure and Health community Services as well as a certificate III in Business Administration. My passion for working with children has extended to a local Primary School where i am currently employed casually as a cleaner, but have previously at the same school volunteered within the classrooms assisting with reading and writing group activities plus audio/visual books on Ipads.
I am trustworthy and reliable in carrying out set tasks on time, highly organised and can work as a team member, in small groups or individually as required. I am an animal lover having owned my own horses,dogs and chickens throughout my life, and always love to be outdoors as much as possible.
