Summary
Having worked with my own two children and taken care of two babies/toddlers, I am extremely passionate and committed to the well-being and development of young children and love working with them. As I understand the importance of developing children from a young age, I am studying part-time towards an Early Childhood Development Practitioner Certificate. I am reliable, loyal, honest, energetic, and eager to learn and gain experience so that I could be a valued team member. I have an excellent support system and available to work on Saturdays when needed.
