What I'm looking for

I seek roles supporting children’s development and inclusive education where I can apply ECD expertise, project monitoring, and stakeholder coordination while growing professionally.

I am an early childhood development professional with hands-on experience in classroom support, childcare, and project facilitation across NGO and school settings. I hold a Bachelor in Early Childhood Development and Education and certificates in Kenya Sign Language and ECD.

I have supported research activities at a university level, assisted implementation and reporting for a World Vision GRIP internship in Turkana, and worked directly with children in schools and a children's home, focusing on behavior monitoring, confidentiality, special-needs identification, and documentation of achievements.

I bring strong skills in project planning, budget tracking, monitoring and evaluation, stakeholder communication, and reporting. I am motivated, diligent, and ready to contribute to programs that support children’s development and inclusive education.
