Amelie - 23yrs

Hey! I am a qualified and caring educator with a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, and I hold a Working With Children Check, Police Check, First Aid, CPR, and Child Protection training.I have my own car and my provisional 2 (green) P plates Over the past few years, I have gained hands-on experience through Before and After School Care (BASC), working with children across a wide range of ages and needs. Creating environments where children feel safe, understood and like they belong. Working on identifying and maintaining clear communication, predictable routines and flexible strategies that support each child’s individual strengths and needs. I bring a deep, personal understanding of neurodiversity and additional support needs, which allows me to genuinely relate to children who experience the world a little differently. I am highly attuned to sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, communication differences, and the challenges that can come with transitions or changes in routine. This first-hand insight helps me approach care with empathy, patience, and respect, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I naturally adjust my tone, pace, and expectations to suit the child in front of me, whether that means giving extra processing time, offering choices, breaking tasks into manageable steps, or providing quiet support during big emotions. Because I understand these experiences from a first-person perspective, I am able to respond with empathy rather than urgency, helping children feel seen rather than corrected. I love doing arts and crafts, messy play, sensory play and trips to the park and on drives (we can even listen to your favourite music!). Cleanup from any activities is a certainty :)
