### About Me

I am a mum to two children and I have been a home-based educator for three years. I have previously worked as a Children’s Librarian at both Invercargill and Christchurch City Libraries.

## Places We Like To Visit

## Tiny Nation events Pop-up playgroups Queens Park  Thompsons Bush  Riverton

 

## My Availability

I am available Monday-Friday, 8am-5.30pm.

I have space Monday - Friday for children under or over-2-years-old.

 

## My Philosophy

I am a strong believer in child-led learning. I follow and expand upon the interests shown by my tamariki. I focus on learning through play, as this has been shown to create quicker brain connections than learning in isolation.

## My Environment

I am based in Invercargill, where I have a large play space in a sheltered back section. 

Tamariki have a dedicated playroom with lots of resources. There is a large outside area that includes a sandpit, a fort and a trampoline. 

I am involved in our local Playcentre and tamariki attend sessions with me. I find this a great way to expand socialisation for tamariki with both their peers and adults.

I love to take my tamariki out to explore our wider community. This often involves visits to Queens Park, Thompsons Bush and Riverton in the summer.

## My Training

I hold the National Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 4). I also have a current comprehensive first-aid certificate.

### Family Testimonials

#### "Second Mama" ![TN\_BrandIcons-06](https://info.tinynation.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/TN_BrandIcons-06.jpg?width=50&name=TN_BrandIcons-06.jpg)

“Thank you for being our daughter’s 2nd mama and for really feeding her love of the outdoors. She has developed so much in the past 6 months and I credit that entirely to you. I’m so glad she got to have you as a carer, despite it being only a short while.“
