About Jo

44 years old Speaks English
I'm in Docklands Melbourne CBD. I’ve enjoyed 20-years experience of lovingly working amongst children of varied ages & special needs,first as a primary school teacher,currently a support staff at a special school handling kids with severe physical learning disabilities such as ADHD & autism.Those long extensive work experiences have given me extra skills including CPR/First Aid, peg feeds, epilepsy management, anaphylaxis management,etc. that will benefit any child. I cater to NDIS funded clients as also. I adjust to the needs of older kids as well(as I do have 2 teenagers plus a primary school child myself).Working with children through those years makes me naturally patient,playful,fun,carefree,always smiling & cheerful.I manage tantrums of clients with utmost patience & I work it out with understanding the child first to deliver a loving care."Safety First" is my priority as well.I have a Bachelors Degree, Working with Children Check & Police Check.I love cooking healthy & delicious meals & I love baking as well.I like to keep my working environment clean & organized.Being energetic & physically fit is also an attribute that helps me deal with the very active nature of my current clients.Hope to hear from you!
