What is your name?
My name is Aisling White, the children call me Miss Ash, Miss Ashely White or Miss Ashy and I am 26 years old.
Which centre do you work in? How many staff and children are in the centre?
I work at Goodstart Early Learning in Darwin. We have 21 staff and full occupancy on a daily basis is 75 so we average over 100 children depending on full time and part time.
What is your professional background and career experience?
I studied B.A in Accounting and didn't like it, then did a course in Special needs in Ireland. In Ireland I worked for a few months here and there as a classroom assistant, voluntary work and I babysat children since I was 13 years old. I minded a girl with autism for many years this is what inspired me to do the course on Special needs.
