Hello!
My name is Monique and I am a Sunshine Coast local. I am a university graduate & have a niece and nephew of my own age 7 & 9
I pride myself on being fun and engaging with children of all ages. I have 5 years experience looking after children aged 6 months - 12 years. I enjoy cooking, beach trips and time outdoors and do all of these things regularly with the children I have minded. I am patient and attentive to each child, ensuring our time together is fun and enjoyable for everyone.
I am also a volunteer for Lifeline as a telephone crisis support worker, so I can remain calm under pressure and hold a paid work ... moreI pride myself on being fun and engaging with children of all ages.

I am also a volunteer for Lifeline as a telephone crisis support worker, so I can remain calm under pressure and hold a paid work Blue Card. I have completed a Bachelor of Social Science, majoring in Behavioural Studies with a focus on youth, so I also hold a tertiary understanding of child behaviour.
Ultimately, I am an Aunty myself, so I understand how important it is to balance fun with discipline to ensure the children are well behaved, everyone is treated with respect, and all required homework and chores are completed.
**AVAILABILITY**
I will keep this calendar as up to date as possible but please message me for my most up to date availability! I am generally available most weekends (all day/night) and during the week (evenings only).
**TRAVEL COST IS AN ADDITIONAL $15 IF OVER 25KM FROM PACIFIC PARADISE**
Whilst I am more than willing to travel more than 25km, I will require an extra $15 for petrol and the additional time involved in traveling a greater distance. Thank you for understanding :)
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 I love about this work
I love seeing the world through a child's eyes and what started as helping out my sister who is a nurse in looking after my niece and nephew, has become something I would like to do for other parents who are managing the juggle between work and parenting life.
