I am a mother to an energetic 2.5 year old boy and I am currently studying my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education, so I figured that childminding would be great experience and a perfect fit for my current lifestyle. After having our son I realised how much I loved watching him experience the world and his adventures in learning and play. I also realised how much I enjoy facilitating educational and interesting activities for him to enjoy and how much I love being a part of these experiences; which led me to the decision to study Early Childhood Education! I have a WWC. And have done my First Aid Certification with special focus on Asthmas and Anaphylaxis. I am based in Mount Dandenong and have always been around the hills area. Being close to nature is very important for me and I love getting outdoors with my son to play, learn and adventure. In my spare time, I love reading, music and walking our dog Saku. Being a mother, I completely understand how treasured our children are and how it can be hard to leave them with someone new. Therefore, I am completely happy to meet with you before the care date so that we can get to know one another. I can also give you my word that I will care for your child as I would care for my own, with kindness, understanding, compassion, fun and interest. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries! Best, Steph.
