I have experience working as an In-Home Care Educator, an Inclusion Support Worker in Kindergartens, and private nannying and babysitting from toddlers to school aged children. I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment that promotes learning and emotional development and am committed to creating a positive and supportive environment for children to grow, learn and thrive. I am currently studying to be an early childhood and primary school teacher and have recently completed placements in kindergarten and lower primary.

I am energetic and absolutely love being with little children out, playing, movement, dancing, singing, making food, walks and discovering the little things in our world outdoors. Have been a nanny for 10 years, researched and experienced the early childhood and development field and have completed my Diploma in early childhood in 2018. Even though I explored the early childhood field in childcare centres my delight is in being out and about mostly in nature with kids exploring the local surroundings, bugs, plants, birds, playgrounds etc. Sometimes even a walk when done slowly, just down the street can be amazing. When we stop and notice the scents, sounds and each little thing that is there. I find this to be a favourite of children and I enjoy being in the present moment with them. My background has been in fashion design and at the moment the wellbeing space.
