Emma
Rose Bay Service Coordinator
I have been working in the Early Childhood sector for over 7 years. Throughout this time, I have completed my diploma along with a degree in Early Years Education and Special Educational needs. I started working with Active Kids Group in 2018 after moving to Australia and have worked at the Bondi, Vaucluse and Rose Bay Services.
Over the last couple of years, I have really enjoyed working within AKG, I have built, lasting relationships with children, families, staff and management. Throughout my time here I have loved to watch the children grow and be a part of their graduation knowing that I have played a part in their growing, learning and developmental milestones.
From a very young age I have always known that I wanted to be an educator. Having a large family at home and growing up having siblings around helped me in the career path that I have taken. I completed my diploma in Early Years Education at the age of 18, from this I knew that I wanted to further my career within a child’s early years. I then enrolled at university, further completing a degree in Early Years Education and Special educational needs and have been working in the sector since. Here at Active Kids Group all members of staff are provided with fantastic opportunities through our training calendar, which I love to take advantage of and further my knowledge and skills.
I have always been passionate about being an educator. I love forming relationships with the children and families and putting a smile on children’s faces each day, knowing that I was the reason for that smile. Providing children with opportunities to learn, grow and develop while ensuring that they have the best opportunity in their early years is my passion.
As an educator, I love to draw, and to make and create things. I don’t know who loves our activities more, me or the children. We can sit at the drawing table for hours and before we know it, there are castles, dinosaurs and other great projects going home in everyone’s backpacks.
Outside being an educator traveling has been a huge interest in my life. From a young age I have had itchy feet and I have been very fortunate to see lots of the world. Moving to Australia has given me more great opportunities to travel and see beautiful places within this side of the world.
