Passionate, engaged, and experienced babysitter seeking regular work from early November - late December with the possibility of extension.
My experience:
I have 7 years of babysitting experience with 5 different families, whose children have varied from 9 months old to 11 years old. From 2017-2021 I worked for the same family in Palmyra, which speaks to my commitment, reliability, and ability to develop strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. References can be provided on request.
During my time babysitting, my duties have included making lunches, cooking dinner, preparing children for and transporting to school and other activities, helping with reading and homework, general housework and cleaning, bathing, changing nappies, and nearly everything in between. I am happy to incorporate all this into my next role.
My availability:
At this stage I am looking a part time or full time role from early November - late December. I am travelling in January but if the fit is right, I could return following this.
My babysitting style:
I am fun and outgoing with kids, ensuring they feel safe, cared for, and can enjoy themselves around me, while also regularly checking in with parents to ensure my approach adheres to their own parenting style when it comes to rules & discipline.
About me:
In my spare time, I enjoy being in nature, playing sport, hiking, hanging out with animals, heading to the beach, camping, and reading. I grew up on a farm before completing high school in Perth. I graduated from Santa Maria College in 2015, and finished studying Conservation and Wildlife Biology at Murdoch University in 2021. Since then, I’ve been working in the country as a Natural Resource Management Project Officer. I’m relocating back to Perth at the start of November, and would love a babysitting/nanny job when I return; my previous roles in this area have seen me excited to go to work each day and come home happy, exhausted, and fulfilled, which I would love to experience again!

What kids love about me
Kids love me sense of humour, and how willing I am to embarrass myself to make them laugh! They love that I am always up for even the silliest of games, and can make them delicious meals.
What I love about this work
Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the happiness I can bring to children. Whether they've had a bad day at school and I am there to cheer them up with a silly story or a fun game, or if they just want someone to hang out with and talk to.
