Hey everyone! My name is Jess and I would love to join your family as an extra set of helping hands and to provide lots of love, fun and adventure! I am nearly 21, based in the lower Northern Beaches and am currently studying at Macquarie University working towards a career in child psychology or special needs education. I love kids and am extremely passionate about childhood development and welfare, embracing the gentle, child-led parenting approach. As I am the oldest child of an extensive and tight-knit family and family friend network, I am extremely personable and family-orientated and have been looking after little ones basically since I was a little one! I have over 4 years of paid childcare experience with children aged 1-14, as well as recent tutoring experience in most K-12 subjects, having just finished high school. I also provide introductory casual music lessons for primary aged children in piano, voice, guitar and ukulele, with the main aim of empowering and boosting student confidence. I can cook and do light housework to contribute to the running of the household, provide entertainment and activities, transport children to and from activities and commitments, tutor and do homework help, and of course give them lots of love and joy. I have a WWCC, a NSW Police Check, my P2 license and own vehicle, and as many references as you desire.
