CAREER BREAK – FAMILY CARE

Took a planned career break to raise and care for my two sons. Being closely involved in their development has strengthened my patience, organisation, resilience and understanding of how children grow, learn and develop confidence. It has also deepened my passion for working with children and supporting them with warmth, encouragement and understanding so that they feel valued and able to achieve their best.
