In addition to being a childcare educator, I am also a dance teacher with training in many different genres. I know from my childhood experiences that trusting the people your parents leave you with is crucial to enjoying your time somewhere unfamiliar. Being someone that children can rely on and trust is my main focus as a childcare educator. One of my favourite things about working with children is being involved in their growth. Watching children’s eyes as they light up when they learn and accomplish new skills, is the best reward.

I can't wait to meet you!"
