I've often found that parents are impressed by my ability to relate to the children while still being a responsible, mature and safety conscious adult. I am always respectful of my surroundings and understanding of the balance of family life.

So this is my strong point. Kids love my sense of humour and feel that they can relate to me and feel as comfortable as they are with their own friends. I am still a big kid at heart! I have an active imagination which I utilise in the construction of epic forts, games and story telling.

I am here for the experiences, and what better way to learn than to do it in a an Australian family environment? Interaction with kids keeps me grounded and gives me a new outlook on life, and is always something I find enjoying and insightful.
