My name is Breanna. I'm from Leeton and I'm a childcare worker
I've been a childcare worker for about 6 months now
I just decided there and then, that day that I wanted to do it
It's very special knowing that you can teach the kids
and they learn so much
I went to school here from Year 10 to Year 12. It wasn't too bad
I was kind of a little naughty
but as I grew up a little bit I just learned the adult ways
At the childcare that I work at, there's a little over 50 kids.
Doing their nails, doing their hair, playing in the sandpit, changing nappies all the time
It's awesome, I love it!
I like to go to the speedway here in town
My dad races
and I like to spend to spend time with my dog
When I was at school, I didn't really think of having a job
and then when I left school, I was thinking, well what am I going to do now?
Not having a job, not earning my own money
it was very boring
Oh, I slept in, didn't get out of bed
then one day I just wanted to get out of bed and actually do something about it
I wanted to work, earn my own money
so I can actually get myself a house
jobactive and the workers around here are awesome.
They're the best people that you could possibly be around
My jobactive provider is more of a counsellor to me than anything
She helps me out a lot. Rings me up to see if I'm okay
See if I need help with anything. She's always there
It's special to me knowing that I'm a teacher
and I can teach children at the centre to do different things, activities, anything
It's just amazing!
It's stressful not having a job
So my advice would be - don't sleep in at all
It's probably the worst thing that you could do
Get up, do something about it, and go and get a job
It's hard at the start but you'll get there
Even if you have to go to TAFE or university
They'll help you out and you'll get there
