Micah O'Sullivan -
Senior Early Years Worker
|
Micah officially joined the nursery in August 2008 but began
her association with the Priory much earlier as part of her student
placement when working towards her BTEC Level 3 Diploma in
Childcare. Micah fitted in straight away and was amazing with the
children. She joined as a bank member of staff in August 2008 and
when the Senior Early Years Worker position arose she jumped at the
chance to progress her career. She says that gaining the senior
position within one year of leaving college is one of her biggest
achievements. In her spare time Micah likes to browse the shops and
admits to spending most of her wages on clothes! |
