Ellen Starr
I am applying for the position of Nanny. I would be well suited to this position as I find working with people to be exciting and challenging. I am passionate about working with children and gained some practical experience whilst workingas an Au Pair overseas for 12 months. I have also worked at ABC Learning Centre Semaphore South and Kura Yerlo Child Care Centre. This work experience gave me valuable insight into the type of work and commitment that has come to be expected by the Families I have worked for which has helped develop my confidence and skills. I am looking forward to developing my teamwork and communication skills by working as part of a team with co-workers of a growing company.
I am currently Studying to get my Diploma of Children’s Services. I am half way through getting my Certificate III in Children’s Services.
