Accomplishments

I have recently covered the directors role at my current centre for 4 weeks while she was off on her honeymoon. This was a huge step for me but through doing this I gained a strong knowledge of parent payments, wages, rostering and utilisation's. This was a great and new experience for me!

Time off

After my time at North Wyong Early Learning Centre I took a year off to travel Australia with my husband and 3 young boys at the time, this was an amazing experience that i will never forget. 

When returning I then had my 4th boy and returned to work once he had turned 10 months old, working ever since at Wyee Childcare Centre
