My name is Melissa.
I am seeking weekend and school holiday work.
I am open to school pick ups, group tutoring and taking your children to their afternoon activities.
I am also seeking families to join my private day-care groups, M/T/W in Bli Bli! As well as providing care for babies, I have worked with ages 4 weeks old to 12 years, in varied roles and capacities! From classroom teaching, to post-natal support.
With my skills, expertise and background in teaching, I am more than just a babysitting service! I am skilled in empowering children to find their voice, develop their emotional intelligence and self- awareness, as well as cultivate life skills that are essential to thrive in this life. Including relaxation breathing techniques, learning to identify and communicate what they need and build the skills of resilience, persistence and self- nurture among other things.
I am experienced with settling babies for sleep and their routines, educating toddlers on how to manage their emotional storms, helping school age with their homework as well as build strategies for managing the daily stresses of school life in the 21st century.
My services are for families who:
Value their time together and prioritise quality time into their life regularly.
Value self- responsibility.
Value honesty and integrity.
Value healthy eating and healthy lifestyle.
Are open to discussing things that may be affecting their child even if it is personal, so that I am able to be informed about the current situation of your children and therefore consider how to best meet their needs at that time. We work together on this.
Are open to the sharing of ideas, suggestions, and resources in order to continue to grow, learn, problem solve and expand. For example I may send you an article or video here and there that is relevant to what is currently happening for your family and your child.
Support healthy expression of emotions rather than suppress them. Even if you struggle with this, if you are at least open to this way, we would work well together. It requires having the self compassion and courage to look within.
I look forward to connecting with you, and joining your tribe!
Please note: I respect your medical choices and expect the same in return :-)
