10 Testimonial I have been extremely fortunate to have been assigned Karlyn Miskle as my student trainer while undergoing my Certificate III in Children s Services through The Australian YMCA Institute of Education and Training. As a stay at home mother of two young children going back to study after fourteen years was a massive decision. I made numerous phone calls to different institutes before I came across Karlyn. From the moment I spoke to Karlyn I felt her passion for early childhood development and life in general. Karlyn was passionate, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. From this phone call I knew that this is what I wanted to do and Karlyn was the right person to assist me on my journey. Throughout my course I was never alone. Karlyn made it clear that she was only a phone call or away. Karlyn would always reply promptly and her response would be in-depth and informative. When Karlyn would come out to the centre to perform observations on me, I would find myself observing her. The way Karlyn interacts with the children and the way the children respond to Karlyn is an inspiration. I will strive to have this same impact on children throughout my career.
