My life has been enriched through raising my own children and being a junior primary teacher for over a decade. I’m a physically active person with first aid training, a working with children check, training in protective behaviours, and I’m also allergy aware. Children, both my own and those I’ve taught, bring me joy. Their energy and curiosity inspire me every day. My passion for working with children continues, and I look forward to many more years of being part of young lives, contributing to their growth and happiness. Over the past 6 months, I've been regularly working within childcare settings, including with babies from 6 months old.
