I provide exceptional care for the children I look after. I am nurturing, detail oriented, safety-health-fun- and entertainment focused.

Hello dear parents and carers!

I am a mum of two school aged children, a girl and a boy. I have experienced pretty much everything that is there to experience up until the age of 9 in terms of child raising. :)
I am used to a gluten free dairy free lifestyle with my children.
I am experienced in ASD Level 1 and Level 2.

If you choose me to look after your child, you will be at ease for knowing that your child is in very caring and nurturing hands.

I am a mum of two school aged children, a girl and a boy. I have experienced pretty much everything that is there to experience up until the age of 9 in terms of child raising. :)
I am used to a gluten free dairy free lifestyle with my children.
I am experienced in ASD Level 1 and Level 2.

If you choose me to look after your child, you will be at ease for knowing that your child is in very caring and nurturing hands.
With my children I focus on several things throughout the day, and your child will be receiving the same type of care: physical safety is number 1, emotional well-being number 2, healthy eating is number 3, then fun and safe activities... These are my highest priorities above all else.
I am happy to take your child to the playground or other activities, prepare morning tea/light lunch, healthy snack, read books, dance to music, do artworks, bake cookies, build sand castle, play with favourite toys, and all the alike.

I run fortnightly freestyle dance exercise sessions for ladies in Moggill, so my public profile has been widely available and personal references about me as a person also. My business is called Women In The Rhythm, you can find my website under this name. I also run monthly activities for children under the name of Kids Boogie (on same website as above).
I am a casual educator at a childcare centre and undertaking the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. First Aid and CPR certificate acquired in 2023.

What I provide:
exceptional child care for children and teenagers, aged 1-17. My focus is the child, not the house. What we move I'll pack away, but I do not promise that any extra cleaning/tidying can get done above that.
For smaller children: I did toilet training for my children with ease, I can help you with that too. I'm happy to do light meals and easy/quick food preparations (longer lasting cooking is ok if the child is old enough to occupy herself/himself while I'm busy in the kitchen).
I'm happy to take a few photos along the day but only when the moment/circumstances are right for that, otherwise I don't use my phone, only if you and I need to talk.
I drive my own car. I have child car seats to use or can take yours if you wish.
For older children: the activities and care arrangements will be different and adjusted to your needs.

Hours:
Generally available between 9am and 2.30pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
I can start around 9-9.30am depending on your location and finish latest by 2.30pm. The minimum amount of time to book me is 30mins per occasion, the maximum is 3 hours per day, occasionally can be stretched out to 4-5 hours per request.

Fee:
$30 per hour
When the sitting finishes on a full hour and a half, the last half hour will be $15.
When the sitting finishes on a full hour and a quarter, the last quarter will be $7.5.

Fee adjustments:
When the sitting is for 30min, 1h, or 1.5hrs, the fee will be $25, $40, $55 respectively, as it will include the two way travel cost that is $10.
(Sittings that are 2hrs and longer will absorb my travel cost and don't incur an extra fee.)

I would not be in the position to be your helper if the child:
- is within 2 weeks of receiving any vaccinations (due to experiencing possible side effect reactions whilst in my care) - , but after 2 weeks it is ok to book me in,
- has received any sort of C19 jab at all during in his/her life (due to the high risk of serious side effects),
- has any other illness than a simple head cold (a clear runny nose is ok, but a thick mucus filled runny nose/earache/viral rashes/tummy ache and similar are not meant to be left for a sitter and parental care is preferred for a child in my world and belief system - a child needs the parent's closeness, love and care in these situations). A clearly identified recovery stage and non-infectious stage of an illness is ok with me. If the onset of an illness happens whilst in my care, I will contact you to discuss what is a best early response and arrange for an earlier take over if needed.
- has to take medications/injections. I will not administer anything, unless it's a first aid situation.
- is referred to as "they". I can only speak and think in she/he, boy/girl. I respect your choices but I myself cannot adjust to any other categories.
