Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care; have experience with children aged 6mth - 15 years. Available for casual babysitting.
I graduated with a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care from TAFE in 201. I have all my checks (WWC, National Police Check, First Aid in a Childcare Setting, First Aid, a clean licence and car).
I have worked for several families long term. I now work full time in the industry I graduated in, and I babysit casually for a couple of families in Canberra. I value my families so always try and be available when they need a babysitter! I theoretically finish work at 2.30pm at the moment (rarely ever j reality!) but this does mean I am usually free from 4/5pm on weekdays.
I have good references and have lots of experience with children aged between 6 months - 5 years, as well as older children. I also have experience working through the NDIS as a support worker for a child with an intellectual disability, and I have nannied for big groups (4 children), including twins.
Needless to say, I adore spending time with children and I'm passionate about child development. I am very experienced in helping with homework, basic cooking and cleaning, running fashion shows, making movies,hair braiding, hop-scotching, bike-riding, dog-walking, bandaging scraped knees and breaking up sibling fights.

What parents love about me
Ability to engage with children, open-mindedness and flexibility, calm demeanour, reliable and organised. Most parents enjoy how much I care about their children.
What kids love about me
Fun and spontaneous with a particular skill in improvising fun games. I have a lot of stories which children love, and my sense of humour suits children well.
What I love about this work
I just love being around children, and I'm fascinated with how they grow and develop. They take a joy in simple things, and are often unintentionally hilarious. I like having an impact on a child's development and creating a very positive bond. My favourite moments are found in the connections you make during simple routines - going to bed, reading a story, having dinner.
