Summary

With over 12 years of rich experience as an Early Childhood Educator, I have worked across diverse settings from remote locations in North Queensland to urban centres in Sydney, NSW and Alice Springs NT. My career in childcare has been both fulfilling and impactful, allowing me to significantly contribute to the developmental milestones of young children. Committed to excellence, I create educational and nurturing environments that promote exploration, learning, and social interaction among children aged 0-5 years. My approach goes beyond supervision, focusing on structured, stimulating educational experiences that prepare children for future success.
