Hi! I'm Rebekah, a caring and responsible sister to a 3 yr old and 11 yr old and someone who truly loves spending time with and taking care of children. I know that childcare has its ups and downs and I enjoy not only the ideals but also the nitty-gritty everyday life. I will be a university student in 2020 and am looking for casual/part-time work during weekday evenings and some afternoons and daytimes and during weekends.

I'm Rebekah, a caring and responsible sister to a 3 yr old and 11 yr old and someone who truly loves spending time with and taking care of children. I know that childcare has its ups and downs and I enjoy not only the ideals but also the nitty-gritty everyday life. I will be a university student in 2020 and am looking for casual/part-time work during weekday evenings and some afternoons and daytimes and during weekends.
At home I've been looking after my sister since my 8th birthday and when I had a baby brother after I turned 15 I've practically been a second mum. So I really know what it is like to spend time and take care of day-in day-out with toddlers and primary school students. Outside of that I have experience with older children, volunteering my time as a youth leader helping plan games and activities. done a short work placement at a kindergarten where I got to spend time reading to, playing with and negotiating conflicts between kindergartners.
Overall, I am a calm and collected person who is very adaptable and therefore am perfectly suited to caring for children. I love singing, reading stories, making craft and just playing with the child's toys - so let me know if there is anything particular your kids enjoy and I'll make sure to have it up my sleeve. Since I recently graduated high school, and also enjoy teaching, I can provide some guidance for primary school and junior high school students with homework if necessary. As I am new to the babysitting market, my references would be personal referees but I am happy to meet with you prior to the booking if it would help ease your mind and to ultimately prove my ability to care for your children if you would give me the opportunity :)
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

What parents love about me
Parents would love my accountability and calm nature, which means they can always count on me to be on time, care for children in all situations and handle any issue in a collected manner.
What kids love about me
Kids love my ability to connect with them on their level and embracing a child-like wonder towards life. I love to sing and can belt out favourite tunes with your child - especially if you give me a heads up beforehand, but believe me I know most Disney hits off by heart anyway ;)
I'm a great listener, which is ideal whether your child is talkative or more reserved because I will give them the attention they deserve, regardless. I'm well versed in the language of monster trucks thanks to spending time with my little brother and am a quick learner when it comes to really getting a particular child's interests.
What I love about this work
I love children. Their innocence, their curiosity, their warmth.
We can all learn so much from these little bundles of joy (most of time) and so I truly love spending time taking care of them and playing with them.
