Summary

A passionate and dedicated childcare enthusiast with thorough volunteer experience at a primary school through JNC. Fostering a nurturing environment where children can develop and grow, both academically and emotionally, is something that I have been heavily enjoying. Although I do not have paid experience in childcare, I am deeply passionate about entering the industry and am willing to obtain any necessary qualifications. I am eager to bring my hands-on experience and enthusiasm for child development into a professional setting. Paid or not, my sheer love for helping and supporting the youth simply brings me joy.
