I worked as a caregiver in a rest home for five years but I have always wanted to work with children. When I moved to Palmerston North, I knew it was the right time for me to pursue my career change and I have been working as a home-based educator ever since.
I am available Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm.
I believe in providing a child-led learning environment and in creating a learning programme that is centred around children's individual interests and developmental stages.
I am passionate about offering a heuristic and Montessori approach to childcare. It's my aim to create a ' home away from home' for children to feel supported, nurtured and encouraged in all that they do.
I live in Awapuni, Palmerston North.
My home has a dedicated playroom and offers an abundance of toys and educational resources for the children to interact with and enjoy. I also have a separate and restful sleep-room, for the children's naptimes.
We love sensory and messy play, music, jumping jellybeans, water play, being out in nature and regular outings in our community.
I hold the National Certificate in Early Childhood (Level 4) and a current first-aid certificate.
