Employer comments

She is definitely gonna make an absolutely amazing teacher, I have encouraged her to go back to school and get a teaching degree. One of the most responsible and compationate assistants I've ever worked with. She has a good rapport with all the learners and staff too, Hence it was easy picking her for a contract extension at our school.
