Having excellent communication skills allows me to be able to relate well with people at all levels, I am able to work at an excellent standard under considerable pressure, whilst presenting a positive image to others. I am easily lead and eager to learn and keen to find a challenging position within a responsible employer where I will be able to build my experience. I have a heart for children a they are my passion as they are fun and I enjoy aiding them in their growth and development. I focus on the development and growth of your children by identifying their personality and activities that stimulate them.
