My name is Deirdre (Dee), I am 54 years old and I am the mother of four adult sons. I have spent most of my adult life working in the childcare industry, from nannying in my early adult years through to in home childcare and then more recently working in a primary school setting as a Teacher Aid.
I feel very passionate about the wellbeing, care and fostering positive interactions with children as I know how vital these are in the long term development of the child.
A child knowing they are cared for, that they are heard and that they belong - this is always at the forefront of my mind.
I am a strong advocate for in home care where children are supported to learn and grow at their own pace and are cared for, encouraged and nurtured while in their familiar surroundings.
I am happy to travel for work anywhere around the Sunshine Coast area. I have a current Blue Card and Level 3 Early Childhood Qualifications.
