Hi! I'm Libby! I'm originally from Tasmania but moved to the Gold Coast in February of 2023. I am currently studying Paramedicine, meaning I have my First aid, CPR and Advanced Life support certificate, alongside a police check, working with children and vulnerable people card (blue card). I've always felt a deep joy when working with children, their energy, curiosity and pure zest for life is infectious! Helping them learn, grow and navigate the world is incredibly rewarding. I find it's not just about teaching them, but it's also about learning from them. They teach me to stay open-minded, to be patient and to never lose my sense of fun! Working with children isn't just a job for me, it's a passion! I've had previous work experience working with children as a babysitter and dance teacher. As a dance teacher, I was able to share my passion and love for dance with students of all ages, and groups both large and small, including private sessions. It was amazing to see how much joy dance could create. I was able to witness their growth, not only in their technical skills but also their self-expression and confidence. It was truly rewarding to be a part of that journey. I am patient, empathetic, driven and committed to do my best. I hope you allow me to be apart of your journey too :)

My name is Sarai and I am 27 years old. I am a Spanish girl. I have worked as an aupair in Ireland for 9 months (4 children) and in a kindergarten for 3 years.

I am also calm and organized, in addition to fun, I'm sure your children will not get bored with me. I have works references!

Hello Families! My name is Tatiane, I am 28 years old, and I am originally from Brazil. I have always had a passion for working with children, and I have gained valuable experience throughout the years. Here’s a little bit more about me: I started my journey by assisting in classrooms with my mother, a dedicated teacher. During that time, I had the pleasure of helping care for children aged 0 to 2 years old, supporting their development and ensuring their safety in a nurturing environment. In Brazil, I also worked at various events where I provided recreational activities for children, fostering their creativity and ensuring they had fun in a safe and engaging way. Currently, I am working as a cleaner in a school, but I am eager to find a new opportunity that allows me to be more directly involved in childcare. I have already obtained my Blue Card here in Australia, which assures families of my suitability to work with children. I am responsible, attentive, and deeply committed to creating a positive environment for every child in my care. I would love the opportunity to support your family by providing high-quality care tailored to your child’s unique needs. I look forward to contributing to a loving and secure atmosphere where your little ones can thrive. Feel free to reach out to learn more or arrange a time to chat! Warm regards, Tatiane
