Summary

I am currently seeking to secure a role within a primary school. I have been working in the early childhood industry for 15 years now and it is my passion to provide a high level of learning to young children to give them the best start to their learning journeys. I believe I have a great talent of forming a positive and trusting relationship with students and their families. I believe I am a highly professional employee and strive to provide the best quality care I can for the students in my care.
