Kia ora, ko Taine ahau.
I’ve been part of the Pukeko whānau since 2021, supporting tamariki through play, exploration, and learning. I bring a gentle and caring nature, along with energy and strength, which helps me connect with children at their level and share in the joy of active play.
My Māori heritage shapes the values I bring to my mahi. Whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (care), and aroha (love) guide the way I support each child, helping them feel safe, valued, and a strong sense of belonging.
I’m also considering further study in Early Childhood Education so I can grow as a kaiako and continue supporting tamariki and their whānau.
