To whom it may concern,
Petit Early Learning Journey- Burleigh employed Briana Velimirovic as Perm Part time with Full time
hours on 6th September 2021. For her time with Petit and myself as her manager she has excelled her role,
in a variety of dedication and skill, which is unique. She is exceptionally hard working and shows a
growing passion for her role with working with children, families and an extended team.
Throughout the last 2 years, Briana has taken on a variety of roles and excelled at all types of mentoring
and challenges, always being adaptable and willing to strive for the best outcome for her role, children
and families. Bree is hard working, motivated and enthusiastic within her role and I can see amazing
things as she continues her journey within this sector.
Briana has worked hard, working with a diverse team, with a range of personalities and through this has
supported, mentored and guided their own individual growth and goals as their studio lead. Briana being
adaptable within her role can work with any age groups, but has a natural intuition for younger ages. She
is highly capable of managing a large studio and team, to ensure they reach their full potential.
Briana has delivered above my expectations of her role and always at a high quality. It is a hard and sad
loss for our centre, however her next journey will be yours to gain. I can not speak highly enough of her
work ethics, dedication, team work and commitment to our centre as a whole, our loss will be your gain.

“Brianna was very nice to work with. She got along with the team and interacted with the children really well. The team said she was amazing. She spent a lot of time engaging with the children, and was also able to settle them when needed. Brianna could prevent any potential issues before they happened.

We would love to have Brianna with us any time we are needing agency support, and she is available.”
