I originally trained to be a primary school teacher here in NZ and I taught for 7 years both here in Invercargill and in Auckland. I moved to the United Kingdom for a number of years and taught there for another 5 years. During this time I also worked as a Teaching Assistant with pupils with special needs. I have much experience babysitting and taking care of children in their own homes which includes cooking their meals and doing activities with them. I very much enjoy working with children and it is something I always go back to, as I always find it very rewarding in many ways.
