Activity summary
Caring ECE Student Teacher | Passionate About Nurturing Young Minds
Kia ora! I’m Neetu, an enthusiastic and nurturing ECE student teacher based in Christchurch. I’m currently undergoing professional training at the University of Canterbury and gaining practical experience in early childhood settings, where I work closely with tamariki, supporting their social, emotional, and cognitive growth through play, storytelling, and caring routines.
My approach is calm, respectful, and guided by Te Whāriki and bicultural practices. Having previously taught and tutored young children for several years, I understand how to build trusting, warm relationships while creating safe and engaging environments for children. If you're seeking a caring and reliable babysitter who truly enjoys working with children to support their learning and wellbeing, I’d love to be part of your whānau’s journey! Thank you.
