Alia Hussain

I am a highly motivated, caring and well-organised individual who has a genuine passion for working with children. Being a parent has allowed me to develop my existing childcare skills and gain lots of experience dealing with young children and managing their behaviour. I have also gained valuable work experience in an all-girls high school.

I believe I can add a positive contribution to a team working environment and will always try my best with any task given. I understand the importance of providing a warm, safe and secure environment for children to learn in and can be trusted to do such a job. I am keen to work and am available for an interview immediately.
