Hi, My name is Stacey and I live in the bayside suburb of Hampton. In my 15 years in the industry I have gained extensive experience in Early Childhood education. I have loved and nurtured many children from babies to school aged children. I have a Diploma in Children's Services, which has enabled me the ability to guide the education and development of children throught mostly play based activities based on their interests. I believe children’s individuality needs to be respected, and by supporting every child’s physical, mental, social, environmental and spiritual needs. I believe it is important to teach children to respect other’s differences as well as their similarities. I also believe in positive management strategies when dealing with children's behaviour, and helping them to understand behaviour limits. I thoroughly love working with children and having a positive impact on their lives, After all they are the future for this beautiful country of ours! Besides my experience working in childcare I’ve also nannies for several families and have become a part time carer to two teenage boys (twins) whom I once nannied for when they were in the foster care system, I also have a 19 year old step son, one niece and four nephews as well as my two fur babies. So a little more about me, I am the person at the family bbq who all the children and animals flock too! I love having fun and a laugh and the outdoors. I love music, movies, art and craft, singing dancing sports and enjoying life. I’m silly, creative, nurturing, engaging, friendly, loving, a chatterbox, love to learn and I’m hands on with educating children as I love challenging enquiring minds. Anyways that’s enough for now. I Hope to hear from some of you wonderful families soon!! Please dont hesistate to contact me with any questions! And of course my rate can be negotiable Thanks :)
