He has been employed full-time, and has relieved both for himself and for relief agencies both long-term and short-term.
In his capacity as an Early Childhood Teacher David has worked with children under and over the age of two years old. While David’s experience has mainly been as a Trained Teacher he has been employed as an Assistant Supervisor and an acting Supervisor on a few occasions. He has also been the teacher in temporary charge on the day on numerous occasions.
If you asked David what his particular strengths were he would probably say, his ability to relate to and settle children of all ages who were shy or had special needs. David attributes this ability to the influence of his mother and his experience working with older special needs children when he lived in Christchurch. David also had experience working with problem Teenagers as a reliever for a foster family also in the 1980’s in Christchurch. The foster family subsequently took up a position running a Social Welfare Family Home and David again was a relief person for them. He currently lives in Wainuiomata, a Suburb of Lower Hutt, which is a City in the Wellington region, forty minutes’ drive from Wellington City.view less
