Why I love my vocation

I have worked in the childcare and education industry for 27 years, having started working in a nursery at 18. It’s true to say that I’m passionate about child development. Knowing that I have been an instrumental part of a child’s health, welfare and development gives me great pride in what I do. I love to witness children grow and develop as I play and interact with them. It’s rewarding to see children achieve their early learning goals, knowing that I have supported them in their achievements. For these reasons, I have enjoyed working with children and young people for years.
