Hi, my name is Paris, I am 19 years old and I live on the central coast. Just a little bit about my experiences with childcare. I have always loved working with children, I left school half way through year 11 and went straight into my TAFE course to complete my Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care, I have also started studying my Diploma in Early childhood education and care. A huge belief of mine is that children develop immensely by learning through play and grasp more of an understanding if the carer is just as involved as the child in the activity. I have done a lot of babysitting over the years and have Nannied a short time for a family and recently I have also worked in 2 different child care centres, and I’m extending my work by working as a nanny because what I love doing and am passionate about is working with and encouraging children to learn and grow.
