Babysitters in Elermore Vale, NSW

My name is Grace. I am currently seeking casual babysitting work around the Newcastle/ Lake Macquarie area. I am studying Primary Education and have over three years of experience in childcare. I’m a hard worker and am extremely energetic when working with children. I can also prepare food, complete cleaning activities and am first aid certified.

Fully vaccinated Mrs Doubfire! I have a genuine love of children and over 20 year’s experience (including special needs) and as a nanny in Saudi Arabia . I've also spent 1.5 year`s in Chile, volunteering in a childrens' orphanage. Fun, active, kind, reliable and well organised. When I'm looking after children, I like to engage/participant with them rather than looking at my phone (I'm not on social media!). A believer in 'old school' play/education, ‘adventure’, laughter and cuddles (for toddlers). I love having simple fun with children ie. playground/park (nature walks), puzzles, reading, imaginary games, colouring in, lego, 'rhyme time/singing', references available from local families.

I am a very experienced early childhood/primary school teacher, English as a Second Language teacher, nanny and mother of five young adult daughters. I’ve lived and taught in Australia and overseas. I’m both passionate about and experienced working with children who do not fit into the “One Size Fits All” category. I firmly believe that children thrive in a warm, safe and fun learning environment.

I am a mature woman, outgoing, enjoys working with childen and animals. Iam a visual Artist, I have a Fine Arts Degree. I have worked with children in several roles as a early learning assistant, a buddy"/volunteer in a grief and loss program, and have had training in play therapy. I have worked for a family as an executive housekeeper in Launceston, Tasmania. I have also worked in Aged care and have held administrative roles in several large corporate businesses.

29-year-old female currently studying a Bachelor of Nursing and woking casually as a pathology collector and nurse assistant, with over 8 years of experience working as a nanny/babysitter.
