Daniella

Lead Educator – Jolly Giraffes

My name is Daniella, but everyone calls me Dani.

I started working at Fit Kidz Feb 2024.

I currently hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.

My favourite memory is when I first started. My first day was the day the Fit Kidz Box Hill opened and I was so excited to start this new journey from the very start.

I love the positive community that Fit Kidz has, the family culture that Fit Kidz has and seeing the children explore their environment and create their own learning.

I love hanging out with my friends and my family. I have three dogs, and I love spending time with them either throwing a toy or cuddling with them while watching a movie. I love listening to music whenever I have the chance, and I love to read in my downtime. 

I’m originally from South Africa (go Springboks!), and moved to Australia in 2009. I am easy going and love to have a chat! I started working in childcare at 17 as a school-based trainee, and studied my certificate 3 in early childhood education and care at TAFE, while still attending high school and studying to complete my HSC. After I graduated high school and received my certificate 3, I started to study my diploma in early childhood education and care.
