### About Me

With experience working with children aged 0-13, I've developed a passion for nurturing young minds through various roles, including Early Childhood centre relief work, babysitting, and programme coordination at a before and after school care. In my free time, I enjoy walking and spending quality time with my loved ones.

## Places We Like To Visit

## *Tiny Nation events* Pop-up playgroups Nature play locations Local beaches and parks

## My Availability

I am available Monday-Friday,  
8:00 am - 4:30 pm.

I have space Monday - Friday for an over-2-year-old.

## My Philosophy

I'm a dedicated mum of three who will offer a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that supports children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. With a focus on play-based learning and fun activities, I help tamariki build confidence, make friends, and create lasting memories.

## My Environment

I offer a unique childcare setting that combines a fully fenced, warm, and safe environment with a separate play space for babies and young children. This shared space fosters socialisation and exploration, while my extensive collection of resources, including toy animals, cars, blocks, Duplo, and art supplies, supports my learning-through-play philosophy. This thoughtful approach ensures that children can thrive in a nurturing and engaging atmosphere.

## My Training

I have my Level 3 Early Childhood Certificate, and I am fully First Aid trained.
