Hello I'm Elizabeth,
I've worked in outside of school hours care for a year and a half, before moving on to work as a nanny the following year. During this time I was also studying my Bachelor of Education.
During my course I have taught in both primary and secondary schools, so I am comfortable with all ages and am happy to jump in and competently help with homework whenever it's needed.
During the past four years I have spent time working with pre-primary children, and focusing my efforts mostly on infants and children under 5. I am competent with changing nappies, bathing, bedtime and I have some experience with sleep training. I have also just completed my cert III in early childhood education and care.
I am up to date with my vaccinations and get the flu shot annually, so I am safe to be around newborns. I am also fully covid vaccinated with Pfizer and Moderna.
I am a nurturing and enthusiastic person, and I am qualified in first aid (for adults, children and infants) in addition to holding a working with children's check and police check. I also have a driver's license and my own car which can accept car seats.
Note: Fees are negotiated according to various factors including weekday/weekend, daytime/evening, number of children, age range of children, one-off/regular booking, last minute

She is reliable, enthusiastic and caring. Elizabeth knows how to structure time well, but is also very flexible. She is also well-versed in child development, both due to her personal experiences, as well as her natural affinity towards children.
Elizabeth is extremely hands on with our son. She relates to our son in such a delightful way, it is a true joy to watch her interact with him. She plays with him, reads to him, feeds him and makes him laugh and smile. Her approach to caring for Jack compliments our parenting very well, as she respects our personal philosophies while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day
decisions regarding our son. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have had Elizabeth in our home.

What parents love about me
My patience and ability to connect with children. I can use technology in innovative ways to entertain children, while still engaging their minds. I can also go the other way and steer away from technology towards more creative hands on play. I am caring and receptive to different parenting styles. It is important to me that you are comfortable and that you can share your values and preferences with me.
What kids love about me
That I can make (and show them how to make) many pieces of art (especially origami). They are never lost for entertainment.
I'm silly (but responsible) and I can sing "Twinkle twinkle little star" for an hour straight (I've done it).
What I love about this work
Children enlighten and enrich the world. I am always learning from them and being energised by their presence. I love the warm feeling you get when you hear children laugh, it's the best thing in the world.
