| Hi families, I am a teacher of 30 years, specializing in 'early years Primary' and 'Special Education'. I hold a Diploma of Education (Primary) and a Bachelor of Education (Hearing Impairment and Deafness). Alongside babysitting experience, I have also co-lead a Community Playgroup, for children aged between 0-5 years and taught in various Preschools. Raising my own three children has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I have loved being a part of each stage of my children's development. I am a big believer in "play based learning", as it allows children the opportunity to explore their world, develop their imagination and learn about themselves, in age appropriate, creative ways. I love music and enjoy playing guitar and singing. It is also a great way for children to express themselves. I am a nurturer by nature and I love working with children and tending to their needs, whilst allowing them the space they need to express themselves and their individuality. Children thrive in environments that offer genuine encouragement, support, security, love and a whole heap of fun! Avail. from August.
