I've been babysitting regularly since late 2015 and love working with children, During this time I have cared for children of all ages with various needs, if I were to assist you and your family I would be sure to learn as much as possible from yourself to ensure your child/children would not only be safe and well cared for but also in a fun supportive environment that they would not only enjoy but also grown within.
I consider myself to be a fun, outgoing and caring individual, I'm very hands-on and enjoy guiding children through different stages of development. I am comfortable with taking on duties such as the following: school drop-off and pick-up (as well as any other necessary transport), cooking, household duties, organising engaging activities, homework assistance as well as anything else that fits into your child/children's routines, wants and needs. I am also comfortable working in different environments (for example households with pets, multiple children, other family members, outside-of-school activities, Children with special needs and anything else you feel might need to be addressed). Through my experience in babysitting and support work, I am comfortable working with neurodivergent children and children with any medical conditions.
I have a working background in retail, and admin and currently have the role of a support worker I am looking for extra babysitting shifts to supplement my income whilst I do study.
I was previously enrolled in a bachelor's degree in nursing meaning I am highly skilled in first aid situations and hold many accreditations, I currently hold a valid first aid and CPR certificate, manual handling certificate, working with children's check, valid police clearance, NDIS workers screening check, am fully vaccinated, an unrestricted driver's licence as well as a reliable vehicle as well as many references from previous families I have completed babysitting for; All of which I would be more than happy to provide.
I would love to hear more from you regarding your and your family's needs and how I could be of assistance, If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

What I love about this work
I love and always have loved working with children; Not only have I babysat for many years but also hope to work as a primary school teacher once I finish my degree. I am an extremely energetic and friendly person who can work well with families as I have a large family myself. I have always adored being around children as I find great passion in helping them learn, grow and develop in a safe supportive environment.
