I have worked in the childcare industry for the past six years. During this time I have enjoyed spending valuable time with young children and their families.I began my career in this profession, working as a casual, and then as a support worker to finally a full time assistant. While working as an assistant, my passion for children and early childhood development was sparkled. I decided this was definitely the career path that I was going to undertake. But to do this I felt I needed to learn more about the industry and child development as a whole. So I undertook study; study saw me complete my Certificate III in Children Services, Diploma in Children Services and has now led me to undertake my Early Childhood Degree, which I am currently studying and am enjoying immensely.

My hunger for knowledge and passion for children saw my promotion to room leader, then 2IC and in November 2009, I proudly took on the role of Centre Director. I have found the role as Director challenging at times, but the rewards far out way the challenges. I have had the opportunity to work with an array of talented individuals who support me in my role as Director and share my beliefs of Early Childhood Education. I have also built strong rapport with not only the children but their families and the community.

The satisfaction that I feel when I watch a child begin their time with us here at Goodstart Early Learning Yass, as a young infant and move through their developmental stages and rooms, into a very capable preschooler ready for “Big School”. It just reinforces why I became an Early Childhood Professional and the importance of my role in their nurturing and education.
