About


For the past ten years I have taught primary school. I love people and children, and get a great sense of satisfaction from spending time with and helping others. I am passionate about caring for others, and I see empathy as my strongest quality. All of my past work experience involves working with people. Aside from my career as a school teacher, I have worked as a personal trainer. Both jobs involved assisting people to meet their goals, whether it be social, emotional, physical or educational. One of the best experiences I have had was working with the same class for two years in a row, getting to know the children well and watching them grow and develop. Many of these children had disabilities, and I am used to catering for a wide range of needs. This includes taking children on a two night camp, where I assisted them to complete physical challenges that also challenged their boundaries. Helping the children to overcome their fears, develop their independence and complete tasks that their parents would usually do for them was an amazing experience that I looked forward to each year. I believe the combination of challenging and rewarding experiences from my work as a school teacher is excellent preparation for assisting others in any social role or situation. Helping others to complete important life tasks excites me. I would greatly enjoy assisting with cooking, cleaning and organising their homes. Going out to places such as shopping centres, movie theatres and bowling alleys would be amazing. I consider myself an energetic, fun, friendly person who is easy to get along with. ^& ^&I would love to share my love of art and crafts. I have many ideas for activities that I could teach someone, or learn alongside with them. I love watching Youtube tutorials and completing them with my son, such as water colour landscape painting. I am a good cook, and especially enjoy baking. Anything educational would be a strength for me, such as assisting with learning tasks or homework. Swimming is another strength for me, and would enjoy physical activities at the pool. ^&
