What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead and develop childcare programs while fostering a positive environment for both staff and children.

I am a self-motivated childcare professional with extensive experience in managing early childhood education environments. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Director at an Early Childcare Center, where I supervise day-to-day operations, coordinate communication, and mentor staff to foster individual growth. My role involves delegating clerical duties, managing schedules, and organizing events, all while ensuring a nurturing environment for children.

In addition to my role in childcare, I am the owner of D&T’s Cleaning Services, where I manage a team of subcontractors and oversee operations for over 100 clients weekly. My experience includes budgeting, contract writing, and using software like Xero for financial tracking. I also have a background in teaching, having created lesson plans and taught curriculum at Primrose Preschool for five years, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in child development and educational best practices.
