Mature, enthusiastic carer looking for nanny/babysitting/mother's help role/s in Chermside and surrounding suburbs.
Over many years I have worked in a number of child care related roles, including as part time nanny for a newborn through to three years, outside school hours care at Somerset Hills SS, and casual relief across three child care centres on the north side of Brisbane covering all age groups from babies through to preschool. I have more recently provided occasional care during school holidays (over the last four years) for two children aged eight and eleven through to eleven and fourteen years ... moreOver many years I have worked in a number of child care related roles, including as part time nanny for a newborn through to three years, outside school hours care at Somerset Hills SS, and casual relief across three child care centres on the north side of Brisbane covering all age groups from babies through to preschool. I have more recently provided occasional care during school holidays (over the last four years) for two children aged eight and eleven through to eleven and fourteen years old. I have also occasionally babysat for another young lass, now aged nine years old, during this same period.
Most recently I have had 10 months experience as mother's help with two beautiful children in the 2 to 5 year age range.
My qualifications include an Associate Diploma in Child Care and a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood).
I very much enjoy working with children and young people as quality care and education is something I have always felt passionately about, even more so after having a child of my own (an exceptional 9 year old little guy).
If you feel I might be a good fit for your family, I would love to discuss this with you further.

What parents love about me
I am calm, relaxed and warm. Respected for the approach I take with children, by being engaged and sometimes a little silly, while also being firm but fair.
What kids love about me
I can (and will) get on their level to play. Humour is on the list, and it adds to being able to relate to one another in a way that builds trust.
What I love about this work
The way children look at the world inspires me to look at things from a fresh point of view.
