Gianny
Thumbelina Service Coordinator
Back in 2010, I used to drop my niece off at AKG CITY. From that moment I knew that I wanted to become a child care educator. I had a very inspiring experience as a ‘parent’ who came to pick her niece up every day from an AKG centre. Because of my experience at Active Kids World Square, I decided to start my Early Childhood career by studying diploma of children services in 2012.
After I graduated, I moved to Canberra and worked in a long day care centre for 2 years. In 2015 I moved back to Sydney and joined AKG World Square where it all began.
During my time at AKG, I have worked as a Room Leader, Second In Charge and now Coordinator at Thumbelina Edgecliff.
On commencement at my time at Thumbelina, I felt privileged to be welcomed into the Thumbelina family by staff, children and families. Families are often with us for many years as two or more siblings will attend the service and this means the parents are well known by all the staff and it really makes it feel like we are one big Thumbelina family.
As I’m from a small town in Borneo Island in Indonesia, my childhood memory was playing outside under the rain, looking for the fish and snails in the ditch, muddy puddles and all-natural playing environments.
I love to spend time with my family over the weekend. I love watching documentary and comedy series. I love to travel and to explore this beautiful country on my own.
