5 degrees in psychology, mother of 2 girls both at university, and I make learning fun, baby sitting, homework assistance
I have 5 degrees in psychology or applied psychology, have raised two daughters both of whom have gone on to university education, one completed law in Oxford the other fine arts (animation) (here in Brisbane) and I make learning fun, as I believe it is a progressive way to learn and develop particularly with younger children. I believe my girls are a fine example of this. I am safety conscious having raised my own girls. And I am encouraging with children to help them reach their potential without being pushy. Happy to babysit and assist with homework. I am currently studying creative writing online on a casual basis in research, flexible hours due to professional status, and I am an aspiring authoress, currently completing an animation script and its adaptation to a book for children, so I am very child focused and have excellent interpersonal skills for entertaining them. I have worked in various areas throughout my professional career including research, marketing and have run my own business for over 20 years whilst living overseas. Now looking to work in this area whilst writing my book and undertaking individual projects with other writers. I have co-authored several papers in scientific journals including some with respect to children. A CV can be provided on request. I am flexible in terms of hours, fine with pets, have my own car, non-smoker. I am fit without being a fanatic, swim, walk, callanetics and have a young persona despite my maturity. Enjoy cooking and happy to make light meals or supervise.
