Summary
Hi there, My name is Marelize Britz. I am married with 3 children.
Teaching is a calling, this is such a cliche but true. Every child in your care is the most precious possession of a loving mother and father out there. Being a teacher is more about teaching, it is also about caring as it were your own, because you were trusted with that little one.
Taking the lead at any institution is a huge responsibilities. Thinking on your feet is so important. In more negative situations one must never forget that the child together with their parents stays a client, and shoul be treated as such.
I am a good organiser, planner and need systems everywhere. I am a good listener, very soft harted, but I know my mask to put on when strictness comes in.
