My name is Kitty-Jean, I am 31 years old and have worked in early childhood for over 10 years. I am lucky to live in the beautiful coastal suburb of Coalcliff, just north of Wollongong. I hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and degrees from both Sydney University (Linguistics, with Honours) and Macquarie University (Master). After graduation I became a live-in full time nanny in Madrid for a sweet 5 year old girl. I have years of experience in a variety of pre-school settings, including Mia Mia Child and Family Study Centre at Macquarie University and Boundary Lane Children's Centre in Newtown. I also worked as a bilingual educator in a kindergarten in Vienna for about 9 months! I currently work part-time at Bush Magic Adventure Therapy based in Avondale (near Dapto). I also was a 2/3 days a week nanny for two gorgeous girls in Woronora (Sutherland) ages 2 and 5 but they've since moved to Newcastle! I am also a volunteer Primary Ethics teacher in Bellambi on Fridays.
I am kind, patient, happy and most importantly, reliable. I strive to engage kids in activities that spark curiosity, inquisitiveness and creativity - and course, I strongly value the importance of play in learning! I am skilled in educating and nurturing children of any change to promote language, literacy and social and emotional skills. Happy to do housework, tidying, other jobs and of course taking kiddos to activities via car, walking or public transport. I have a full licence and my own car (no child seats though).
