YMCA Vacation Care Child Educator & Private Nanny

January 2012 present

During my years at YMCA I have worked as part of a team to deliver fun and interactive experiences for
children ranging from ages 5 12. (Including experience with children with disabilities especially Down
Syndrome and Autism).
I have gained invaluable experience organizing sports games, craft activities and general entertainment
for children, ensuring children are well cared for in body, mind and spirit.

Education
The University of Notre Dame, Fremantle

Masters of Education, 2015 present

Having completed my Bachelors degree and gained employment I quickly realized the corporate world did
not match my goals in life. I have a love of children and a passion for education which when combined lead
me to education. Notre Dame was an easy choice being the most respected university for training in
education, in Western Australia.
