Maggie



I am Maggie.I have been in Australia over 3 years. I am a student in Work It Out program now and keen to work in Australia.I am going to enroll in Certificate 3 of Business and Finance Service in Polytechnic because I hope I can do some accountant jobs in the future,but it is my duty for my family.My dream job is working in Australia as a croupier. I used to doing a marketing job in China.It is a amazing and challenging job,I loved that job because it made me very happy. Now, I don't have enough confidentce to do that kind of job with my "very well' English and the lack of culture background. I reckon working as croupier is the cut way to help me in improving my English and Australia culture. At the same time, it is a special experience to make small deals with Australian locals as a sales staff . Working in the Australia as a marketing staff is a long and harsh way,but working in Casino as a dealer will help me to reach that goal.On the other hand,I have a two and half year s old boy,so nights become the best time for me to learn and work and working as a dealer always works at night . If I can get a chance to work as a dealer I should be a quick learner and can provide a good customer service.

=**The First Week In Working Experience (18th,19th)**=

On my first day in Scots childcare centre, I walked to there on time and said hello to director Mirela, then I handed in the approved work placement agreement to her. She showed me around the rest room and my working room ,introduced the carers in that room to me again.

It is really hard for me to remember names not only of the carers but also of the kids.The Luck thing is some carers with a name tag, so sometime when I needed to call her name I just saw her tag. Sometime I can not find the name tag ,I said "I am sorry I am not good at remeber names, would you mind tell me you name again? " For the kids' names I tried to find their boxes ,because there are photo and name tags in front of their boxes, and repeated their name again and again.

I did every thing the carers asked me to do.The main things I did in my first day was cleaning the dishes, preparing and cleannging the mattresses for the kids' sleeping during the noon,cleaning the tables and floor, helped the kids to take off the cloth and to sleep. When they waked up to put the cloth on .Watched them when they played outside and helped them tissue.

Sometime I helped a kid to have a lunch because she is too young to eat it by herself.

During the break time, I had a short conversation with other carers and read some resouces about how to get long with kids on two years old.

The second day, I did the same things I did on the first day.

They were busy days but I enjoyed those days because I learnt a lot of things and practiced my english at the same time I met a lot of nice ladies and cute kids,I loved work with them.On the other hand I can understand my son better than before.I am very happy when I see his smiles. It easier for me to stop his cring by no punish.It is the happiest moment when I see my son feels happy.

=**The Second Week In Working Experience (25th,26th)**=

On my second week in working experince, I was very exciting and challenging.I had done a lot of cleanning works during my first week but in this week I did more communicated jobs with the kids in busy bee's room.I played the children's rytheme in both english and chinese with the kids. I hadn't done this before.

It was very interesting when some kids called me mum, I guess maybe because they are too young to call my name correctly.I tried my best to do this job, because I hadn't done this before and I found that working with the kids is very enjoyable.I felt very happy when some kids sat around me and sang with me when they played outside.I spent a happy time in the Scots child care centre.

Indeed, I reckon the kids' world are very similar to the adults'.It is not hard to find lovely, smart,cute things among them, it also easier to find selfish and competition. As a carer, you have to help them make clear what is right and what is wrong. We told them how important to share with others and how to say sorry when they did something wrong After working in child care centre, my son and I get long better than before. I spent more time playing with him in my spare time and learnt how to communicate with him.Our family also felt very happy because we saw my son is more happier than before.

This week is as busy as last week, but the more thing I did, the more interesting thing I found.

On my third week in working experince, I felt a bit of tired because my son got flu and I had to look after him during the night. And on the 4th November, I fininshed earlier because it.

There were a new staff worked with us on 4th.She told me she used to worked there and had stopped to work because she got a new baby.Now her baby had grow up and she could back.I was very happy with her.I totally understand how important to new mum to back work.

During that week, I found some kids in this room can remember me, even only saw me two days a week.I guess some of them do like me just like how much I like them.I like staying with them, playing with them, padding them when they went to snap during the noon and helping them with lunch.

This week is really busy, but I learnt a lot of things.
