As an educator and presenter with over 25 years in the early childhood profession I enjoy developing quality professional development options and solutions to support and guide others in this challenging field!I have held many varied roles across different areas of the early child sector (Centre based care, Family Day care, Long Day Care, Occasional Care and Outside School Hours Care). Positions have included Room Assistant, Room Leader, Director, Coordinator, CDO, Program Manager, Service Manager, FDC educator and Business operator, In Home Care Coordinator and many more.
This experience and perspective on the unique needs and support required for the many different roles within this wonderful profession gives me the opportunity to now provide relevant and above all useful resources and training for those seeking professional development no matter their role in early learning.
I take great pride in presenting training and writing resource books that are easy to understand, very visual and relevant to educators and leaders under today's expectations and frameworks. The photos I use throughout training slides and my books are all taken from the Family Day Care Service I operated from my home and from activities I have engaged in with my own twins and shared here on my blog for the past 5 years. You can therefore be assured that I not only talk the talk but have also walked the walk! The activities, tips and strategies I share with you through my resources have definitely been tried and tested both recently and from across my work experience in the last 25 years.
I know that sometimes you just want someone to show you the path forward, to speak in clear and simple terms without a whole lot of jargon and confusing academic speak – you have the skills and the passion you just need a little support and guidance every now and then. You want to see examples and step by step directions and strategies with helpful visuals so you can get things clear in your own head!
I don't offer cheat sheets and ‘everything done for you' portfolio templates you just have to fill in or stick a photo on.
What I do offer is training and resources to help you understand learning frameworks and the role you need to play. I support you to break things down into easy steps and find your own rhythm and style – to feel confident and passionate about your job once more. You have the skills already, you don't need a cheat sheet – you just need some help understanding and implementing before moving forward and doing what you do best – working and supporting children on their unique learning journey's!
Let me empower you to be the best educator and leader you can be – be in control of your paperwork and documentation – not the other way around!!
