Hello, I am a university student studying a Bachelor of Primary Education; I'd love to meet your family and help take care of your kids.
Nice to meet you! My name is Sammy, and I worked in a childcare centre for a year before being let go due to Covid-19. I am proficient at food prep, sleep safety, routines, nappy and toilet training. I have two step-kids and through them, I have come to love caring for children aged 0-18. I am capable of tutoring literacy and primary maths; I studied Japanese for six years and can also help with learning that as a second language.

I studied Theatre for Young People intending to become the next member of The Wiggles. However, I've been drawn recently into caring for them in a more direct approach. It gives me an edge that helps me understand how children are amused. Would you believe there's more to Pingu than a penguin making silly sounds?!
I have a weekend job as a children's entertainer where I dress up as characters such as fairies and superheroes. I perform at children's birthday parties, and children adore me, I have a knack for making them giggle!
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
Here is some feedback from parties I have entertained at:
"Our wizard Sammy was super fun. Kept the kids engaged who loved the magic tricks. She arrived early to get to know the party and kids a bit before starting which was lovely. The party boy enjoyed his special place and all the kids spoke about how much they enjoyed it afterwards."
"It was all very smooth, and Sammy did a wonderful job! All the kids had a wonderful time. Will recommend to all my friends. Thanks again!"
"May I say what a joy it was to have Sammy along as part of our special day. The kids at our wedding absolutely adored her and she was so kind, talented and clearly loves what she does. She is an asset to your business, we were actually so touched by how sweet she was."
"We invited Ninja Clown (Sammy) to entertain at my son's 7th birthday party on Saturday. We had an amazing day! We had children of all ages and the ninja clown captivated them all including the parents :-D"
"It was a wonderful experience. Sammy did an excellent job and all the kids loved her. My daughter had such an amazing time on her birthday. She is still talking about all the tricks and games they did with "Princess Elsa". Even us adults we joined in the fun. Such great entertainment. My daughter wants another party with Princess Elsa. She was very sad when she was leaving. I guess next time we will do more than an hour."
What kids love about me
I studied Theatre for Young People and have a knack for keeping them entertaining with song, dance, and games.
What I love about this work
Nothing makes me laugh more than listening to a kid with an imagination. My favourite quote has come from when I dressed as Elsa for a kids birthday
"Mummy, is Elsa really magic or did an invisible person help her?"
