Other Skills

I have engaged in study at university level in the Arts and Primary Teaching and advocate for self expression, as I believe we learn differently, but communication is key. I love to encourage children to follow their interests and aspire to assist them in that journey of discovery. I believe in the integation of concepts (wherther it be numeracy, literacy, physical movement, music or self care tasks including emotional regulation), into real life situations, being a crucial aspect of processing knowledge for the purpose of future use and creativity.

Languages

A small amount of Spanish.

Residency Status

Permanent

Police Check

Yes

Hi, I’m Brooke, I’m 38 years old and a passionate and experienced Early Childhood Educator. In the past 16 years’ I have cared for children in Early Learning Centres, sessional Kindergarten and as a Nanny. I aim to support children in developing independent skills and knowledge about their own health and wellbeing. I love seeing how children's confidence grows as they're provided opportunities to engage in new experiences and express their emotions with gentle support and space to process. Facilitating children's learning for me is all about exploring life, relationships and concepts creatively to ensure meaningful and positive connection to places, people and self. Safety is of utmost importance to me and above all else I endeavour to create relationships with children that foster trust, respect and security.

My personal hobbies include swimming, horse riding, painting and music. I would be very happy to assist your children in whatever interests they are engaged in, and support your family with light housework and cooking. I am a great cook and enjoy cooking with children if this is something they’re interested in of course 🥰

I have extensive experience with all ages, can offer multiple glowing references spanning accross years. I am keen to find a family that shares similar values and desires a friendly, positive but professional working relationship.
