Babysitters in Wadeville, NSW

I'm Nicole, a Californian brought to Australia by my partner who grew up in the Byron Shire. Now a permanent resident, we're making the shire our full-time home! I've been regularly babysitting since I was 12 years old (18+ years) and then experienced a combination of babysitting and part-time/full-time childcare on and off from 16 until I began working a corporate job after University. After that, I still had families I was close to and would help out whenever I could for the ongoing years. I love children and am excited at the opportunity to get back into more childcare. The best parts of my childhood did not involve screens. I try to bring that knowledge with me whenever I care for children. I love creating fun whether it be arts & crafts, harnessing imagination, adventuring in nature, cooking and baking, sports .... and movie nights are special in their own way when it's not every night! I am very well-read and truly love learning. I cook mostly vegetarian, healthy fresh meals and think it's wonderful when children join in. I'm a very calm-natured person. I respect the balance between structure and having fun, and would respect and follow any parenting rules or beliefs you have for your children. I am very stable and trustworthy. I would hope to create a solid bond with your children and be able to be a supportive role in their lives! I am looking to find something that allows me to finally align my schedule with my partner. Because of this, I'm not interested in working nights or weekends regularly. An occasional weekend to allow for a date night or special request would of course be okay.

I am a kind, caring and patient person, with over 25 years experience working with children of all ages. I am a qualified teacher. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know them. I love doing art, craft and playing outdoors in nature.
