My Summary

My Experience

I currently hold a position as playworker in a Karemore Limited out-of-school club. I work with children 5-11. In my position, I'm required to supervise groups of children in a 1:10 ratio, to create and engage the children in afternoon acitivities, providing snacks and direct group games. I believe in the importance of educational leisure activities appropriate for each age group. Art education, physical education, health and safety education and culinary education are some of the areas that influence my games and activities.

I have also gained childcare experience through my position as a Student Mentor at GCU. Particularly, I mentored a group a P1 children in the STEM project, where we learned about technology in fun and practical ways.

I have babysat for family members back in Italy (age 6 months - 3 years), and I'm looking for casual or recurrent babysitting opportunities throughout the summer.

My Qualifications

I have held a PVG for the past 3 years. I hold Emotional Literacy, Basic First, Paedriatic First Aid certificates and I'm always updating my knowledge on childcare and childhood practices. I am enrolled in a number of courses studying child development, particularly on children's perspective on play.

I currently hold a Bachelors in Applied Psychology, and I'm working towards an Honours degree with a specialisation in Childhood Empathy Development.
