Meet Gayani: A babysitter in Malvern, VIC

With extensive experience in early childhood education and a deep passion for fostering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your esteemed institution.

I have had the privilege of working at Goodstart Bentleigh East as a room leader for the 1-2 years age group, where I honed my skills and gained valuable experience. Currently, I am a teacher for the 3-year-old kinder group at Goodstart Chelsea Heights. My responsibilities have included creating a safe, engaging, and educational atmosphere that promotes children's growth and development. My role as a room leader has allowed me to develop strong leadership skills and the ability to manage a classroom effectively. Additionally, my experience as a casual childcare assistant at Camp Australia, caring for children aged 2-7 years, has further strengthened my ability to communicate clearly and engage children in creative activities.

I hold a graduate diploma in early childhood education, which has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise needed to support young children's learning and development. This qualification, combined with my practical experience, has prepared me to be an engaging, friendly, and knowledgeable early childhood educator. My understanding of teaching curriculum frameworks and early childhood pedagogy allows me to create lesson plans that are both educational and enjoyable for children.

My educational philosophy centers on the belief that children form their attitudes towards education early, and I strive to be a positive influence in their lives. I am committed to building strong, respectful relationships with children, fostering an environment of care and empathy. By taking an active role in nurturing children's relationships and social skills, I aim to help them grow into capable and confident members of the community.
