Mother of 5 amazing adults and Grandmother to my delightful Jasmine

I adore working with children and delight in their amazing personalities and characteristics. I have enjoyed working with teens and school aged children, but my absolute favourite is to care for babies, toddlers and young children.
I have raised my own children in a creative, relaxed environment, enjoying healthy food choices, cooking, craft, painting, drawing, playdough, stories, singing, dancing, gardening, pets etc. I look forward to sharing these experiences with other children. I am ... more
I adore working with children and delight in their amazing personalities and characteristics. I have enjoyed working with teens and school aged children, but my absolute favourite is to care for babies, toddlers and young children.
I have raised my own children in a creative, relaxed environment, enjoying healthy food choices, cooking, craft, painting, drawing, playdough, stories, singing, dancing, gardening, pets etc. I look forward to sharing these experiences with other children. I am trustworthy, compassionate, reliable and creative. I am not easily stressed and am happy for children to play loudly and express themselves. I always strive to conduct myself with a high level of integrity, I consider the care of children a privilege and something I enjoy and value greatly.
I hold a Blue Card, Qld Driver's License and have completed a first aid course. I am healthy, a non-smoker and rarely drink alcohol.

I was nervous leaving my baby for the first time but Margy was amazing. Her communication leading up and during the night put me at ease and meeting her for the 15 mins before I left my daughter was all I needed to get a great motherly vibe from her! I would highly recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her services again.

We have 4 children aged 8, 5, 3 and 18months and she was able to care and cater for all those age groups. She is gentle, kind and respectful. And so loving to our children. Her duties were to pick up children from school (we live within walking distance), food prep/dinners, help with homework, bath/shower, and occasional evening babysitting. One day per week she would look after the 18month old the entire day, and my little girl loved love those days and grew very fond of Margy. Thank you so much Margy. We will never forget the time spent with you!

She brought little activities for the kids that suited their interests. Margy was reliable and always on time. I felt completely confident leaving the kids in her care. I hope we can have you back many more times in 2020.

Audrey talks about you a lot and gets very excited on the mornings she knows you're coming. She's always so proud to show us her creations from her days with you and we love that you put such thought into the activities you do together. We really appreciate how easily you've worked with our family's needs and values. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

We had two bubs for them to look after, both bubs (and mums!) new to this kind of babysitting scenario and requiring a fair bit of love and attention. Margy and Sherry gave our kids all the cuddles they needed, and we came home to sleepy, happy babies, being cuddled by Margy and Sherry, which was exactly what we'd hoped for! Only shame is that we were only visiting Toowoomba, so we won't be able to use them again! I would recommend in a heartbeat.

They warmed to her playful personality instantly, which was amazing and comforting to see. Especially, as my two year old is often very shy and takes quite some time to warm up to new people. Thanks for taking such good care of my boys Margy. We all look forward to seeing you again next time!

She pays special attention to each of our child's needs and always has a smile for them. Margy has introduced our family to many furry friends (which our kids have adored) and puts thought into taking the kids on special outings. Margy has shown dedication, attention to detail and care when working in our home. She is very much treasured by our family and I would highly recommend her for babysitting/nanny work.

We could tell she had a lovely day and we felt very reassured knowing she was in good hands. I'm sure she'll look forward to seeing you again in the future!
