My name is Natarsha, I am 19years old and have recently started studying a bachelor of arts at ANU. I am looking for a casual baby sitting opportunity whilst studying. I have had my license for 2 years, with no accidents or fines and have my own car. During my gap year I worked at one of the best childcare services in Canberra (Pinocchio Early Learning Centre in Curtain), since starting uni I have cut down my hours at the childcare centre but still looking for some casual work that would suit my hours better. After spending just over a year working with kids I feel confident in my capabilities to care for kids anywhere from 6 months to 5 years old, as well as taking the time to learn with them.
I had many babysitters when I was young and understand from a child's perspective, how important it is for a child to feel safe and respected, but also for the time spent with them to be both fun and engaging. In addition to being enthusiastic, energetic, hardworking and responsible, I am both creative and fitness focussed, having been involved in dance and performance for most of my life, and academic, making me a great homework helper or just good at connecting with kids who prefer reading, board games or even chess. I am happy to provide references from both parents and my workplace.
