Hi Families!
My name is Leila, I am 24 and currently living in Melbourne, and originally from Scotland! At home, I worked as an Early Years Assistant for over 2 years at 'Thrive Childcare and Education', caring for and engaging with children from all walks of life, from the ages 0 to 5 years old (A job I absolutely loved!). Day to day, I created and got involved in new and engaging child-centred, creative and imaginative activities both indoors and out. My job also included personal care, such as changing and toileting support and overseeing mealtimes positively and safely.
Alongside this, I tutored 5 to 15-year-olds in Maths and English at 'Kevs Class Tutoring', focusing not on academic outcomes but on building trusting relationships with parents and children to build confidence in these subjects. In the holidays, I also assisted in creating and running fun activity day camps for the same children, which was lots of fun!
My degree in Psychology really kick-started my interest when learning about child development as part of my course, and the importance of a positive, fun and supportive environment and the carers a child is surrounded with. I absolutely love guiding and engaging children, and I find building relationships with both the children and their families such an important and rewarding part of the job.
I look forward to hearing from you!
