My name is Sonakshi, and I am a reliable and caring babysitter. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, which gives me a strong foundation in child development, care, and safety. Alongside my studies, I have practical experience working with children of various ages as a casual educator and babysitter.
I hold several important certifications that make me a qualified and trustworthy childcare provider. First and foremost, I have the HLTAID012 – Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting certificate, which equips me with skills to handle emergencies like asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, choking, and injuries in children. This training is specifically designed for those working in childcare and ensures safety at all times.
I also hold a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) for New South Wales, which confirms that I have passed all required background checks and am legally approved to work with children in Australia. Additionally, I have completed the Child Protection Certificate, which trains me to recognize and respond to any signs of abuse or neglect, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for every child.
Understanding allergies is crucial when caring for children. I have completed ASCIA Anaphylaxis e-training for Children’s Education and Care, which teaches how to recognize and manage severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) effectively and calmly. This course prepares me to act immediately and correctly in case of an emergency, including the use of adrenaline auto-injectors.
My qualifications also include the Supporting Physical Development in Early Childhood certificate. This focuses on helping children develop their motor skills safely and effectively through play and guided activities, which supports their overall growth and health.
I have completed the Overview of Family Assistance Law and the National Law Course, an Australian Government certificate that familiarizes me with legal frameworks, policies, and ethical responsibilities in childcare settings. This knowledge helps me work in line with government regulations and best practices.
Working with children with diverse needs requires specific skills, which I have gained through certificates in Child-Centered and Communication-Focused Practice with Children with Disability and Understanding Child Mental Health and Disability. These courses have trained me to communicate effectively, respect individual differences, and support children with disabilities or mental health challenges in a positive and inclusive way.
Furthermore, I hold a Certificate III in Individual Support, which has enhanced my abilities in providing care and emotional support, hygiene, and safe practices—all essential in both aged care and childcare contexts.
I am fluent in English and Hindi, which allows me to communicate well with families from different cultural backgrounds. I take pride in being punctual, organized, and responsible, always following instructions carefully and creating a warm, trusting atmosphere for children.
My practical experience includes caring for children’s daily needs such as feeding, hygiene, play, homework assistance, and bedtime routines. I also help with light household duties related to childcare, such as meal preparation and tidying. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean and safe environment.
In all my work, I focus on building positive relationships with children and parents. I believe a good babysitter not only looks after children’s safety but also supports their emotional well-being, independence, and creativity through age-appropriate activities and attentive care.
I am flexible with my availability and can provide care for short or long periods, including evenings and weekends. Families can trust that I bring a professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable approach to every babysitting role.
With my combination of formal education, extensive certifications, and hands-on experience, I am confident in my ability to provide high-quality care that supports children’s growth, safety, and happiness.
