Hi Mum’s and Dads, my name is Sharnie. I am 19 years old and currently live in Geelong CBD whilst studying a bachelor or Laws at Deakin. I have a working with children’s check, I also have 4 younger siblings, and spent my gap year working with preps in a primary school as an education support trainee.
For the last 5 years I have babysat young children for family friends and relatives. In addition to that I worked in a primary school for 12 months working with prep children ages 4-7. I also have 4 siblings ranging from 4 years to 10 years younger than me.
I was an education support worker in a primary school, working with children who needed extra support when it came to foundational skills, but also with students who were academically advanced for their age group. Additionally during covid I supported two of my younger siblings with their online learning activities. Lastly in year 12 I completed after school tutoring programs focusing on reading and writing, with children ranging from the age of 8-14.
