ENROLMENT - Lake Joondalup

Hi my name is Allicia
I have worked in the childcare industry for 15 years and have been at Lake
Joondalup for 5 years. I am also a mum myself.
Childcare has been my passion since high school and always knew that was what I wanted to do as a career. I absolutely love my job.
I enjoy being able to watch your children grow and learn. I find it especially rewarding when I am able to witness their reaction when they learn or achieve something new for the first time. Itmakes me happy that I can be a part of that journey.

I love working at Lake Joondalup because it’s such a warm, friendly and welcoming environment. We all work together in sync and have formed close friendships making work life enjoyable. The children and families have played a special part, and I love being able to say I am part of this great team.

Hi, I’m Ish.

I joined the LJELP family in 2019 and have been in the childcare industry for almost seven years. I have my bachelor’s degree in teaching and I love working with children and embracing cultural diversity. I’ve been teaching in the Philippines and Singapore before moving to Australia to continue my journey of learning and understanding different pedagogical practices in early childhood. I believe that children need the assurance of being loved, cared for, and respected regardless of where they come from.

I love working at Lake Joondalup because every day I get to learn new things, whether it be from the children, the families, or my colleagues. The work environment feels like home and the support that we get is exceptional

Hi, my name is Vanessa and I’ve been working in the children’s education
and care sector for 5 years now. I have been at Lake Joondalup ELP for over 4 years.
One of the things I love most about being an educator is seeing the children learn
and discover more about themselves, others and the world around them. It is a privilege to be a part of their lives, watching them make friendships, develop new skills and discover who they are.

I love working at Lake Joondalup ELP because I have the opportunity to work with such supportive and passionate team members, I get to enjoy our beautiful outdoor natural space and even after working here for almost 5 years I still look forward to coming into work every day

My name is Mafunase(Mafu)
I joined the LJELP family in 2019 working part time whilst studying to obtain
my degree in Marketing and international business. Although I have since obtained my degree, I discovered that I have a real passion for working with children and am now working towards a diploma in children’s services. I most enjoy learning about the children’s unique and individual personality traits.
The greatest inspiration I have found from working with children is the endless joy and wonder that they bring to everything they do and I love that I get to begin my childcare career with such a great team of people.

I love working at Lake Joondalup because of all the diverse individuals and the different talents and gifts that everyone brings to contribute to the team
