Hello Families of Victoria, I'm very passionate about my work as an Early Childhood Educator! In particular, I love observing children and learning what sparks their natural sense of wonder. I’m confident in my ability to follow their lead and provide them with invitations to expand their ideas across all areas of development. They’re so curious, capable, and creative! I also really enjoy sharing my love of reading, exploring the natural world (rain or shine), using open ended materials, and providing a safe and respectful environment to hold all of the feelings! Over the last 14 years I have gained valuable experience working in a variety of roles and by attending numerous professional development workshops. My employers and my daughter's child care centre closed in March 2020 so I’ve been at home with my little one since then. Last fall we started our home learning journey with Self Design as she entered kindergarten. In January, I began to provide care for a 5 year old on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’ve been so thankful for the opportunity to continue doing the work that I love during this unique time in our lives and I’d really like to help support another family on a part time basis. Just to clarify: if you choose me to provide care I’d need to bring my 6 year old daughter with me. I’m happy to share more about her to see if you think our children would be compatible - perhaps there is an opportunity for them to be awesome play partners! I truly believe this type of arrangement could be beneficial for both of our families and I’m happy to discuss a discounted wage. My availability is flexible and may include evenings and weekends as well. Please contact me with your needs. I look forward to learning more about your family!
