Additional Centre Information
Donna Giles
Centre Director
My name is Donna and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Darwin Airport. I am from Ipswich, QLD and have been living in Darwin since January 2017.
I have been working within the Early Childhood Industry since I was 17. I am a proud Aunty to 7 beautiful nieces and nephews and 1 great nephew. I have no children of my own, however, the many children I have cared for over my 25+ year career has very much satisfied my nurturing side.
After finishing school, I volunteered at the local community childcare centre and was soon offered a traineeship for an assistant role. Over the 17 years of working there, I worked my way through to the Director role. Here is where I was taught the power of team work and importance of relationships. I am blessed to have worked with staff who were all long term, taking over as Director from my mentor Barbara who was the centre Nurse/Director for 36 years.
Working with children is what I was born to do and I have been fortunate to have experience in long day care, family day care and OSHC and to this day have maintained many friendships with some of the children and families that I cared for.
Professionally I love mentoring and supporting those I work with. I very much am a team member and value the input of not only the staff I work with, but the families, children and community as well. Establishing and maintaining relationships is of the utmost importance to me as well as providing high quality care for the children.
I look forward to meeting you!
