Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you.
But first a little bit about me - I have been providing childcare on & off over the past 22 years.
I was an Au Pair in Paris in 2016, however I started child caring in 2002 when I was 14: for my, then, piano teacher’s son. I cared for him 3 days a week, (after school) from the age of 2-8, while his mum taught piano in the front room: I had to master the skill of noise level control! Once I was 16 I began to babysit for other families during the evenings and weekends. I babysat casually between my part-time job and my studies until 2009. Between 2010-2016 I would assist as a mother's helper when asked, whilst working 4 jobs and trying for a Makeup Art Career, by families that knew me, or who were referred: until I left for Paris that is! from 2006-2016 I gave my brother & cousins time-out by babysitting my nieces & nephews, now the eldest are 16 with learners permits!
In 2017 I used this site to find causal & part-time carer positions, and eventual found an amazing family to work for, as a full-time Nanny, up until July 2020. When it no longer made sense for me to be there whilst they worked from home. After I started working for a family of 4 1 boy 9 years old & 1 girl 7 years old), with before and after school care 5 days a week from Feb 2021-Sept 2021 as theirs and my needs changed. From Sept 2021-present I have been working woth another Famiky of 4 2 boys 5 & 8 years old), 5 days a week 2 full days and 3 half days. I will be working with them for the foreseeable future.
Right now I am looking for only casual babysitting or regular babysitting, and before school care. To fit in with my current job.
As I am arranging plans to move to France next year. And am interested in bulking up my savings. By January I will be untertaking futher online education, which I’m happy to talk about in more detail upon being asked, if you wish to know more about tyat.
I will be in Bali all of January and unavailable for work during this month.
I can prepare meals (with care for diet requirements: vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free etc), supervise homework, shower/bath time, oral hygiene and attend the bedtime routine. I always have an activity up my sleeve: centred around their age, and enjoy baking with children (find its good with maths). I believe in tiding/cleaning as you go, this is ingrained, i try hard to impart this to the children, but have discovered the you ger they are when learning this the mire reseptive they are, the okder ones not so much lolz. I have also assist with transportation for: school drop-off/pick-up, extra curricular activities, play dates & excursions.
