Bringing up a family is a big job and I have lots of time and energy to give to help you provide a bit of extra care, support and fun with raising your children. I can help your family by lending a hand when you need it or on a more permanent basis. I have experience caring for children of all ages and am prepared to help with extra tasks wherever and whenever it is required. I also love pets and enjoy cooking too. I have had tonnes of experience in community pharmacy and in hospitality and have raised two children of my own who are now fully grown. I am a genuine down to earth sort of person and have a can do attitude and feel happy to be able to ease the pressure a little on the very stretched time parents grapple with when raising children. Please feel free to contact me and figure out a plan that suits for your family.

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

hi parents! i have been babysitting since i was 16 years old, and this led me into doing qualifications in early childhood after high school. Worked at the royal children's hospital early learning centre for 2 years. i was a room leader in the toddlers room, i also looked after a Down syndrome once a week. The reason i left RCH was to travel and work overseas in italy as a nanny/tutor. i was there for 6 months then went back to italy again the year after with the same family for another 4 months. Went back to study and completed social work and am now working as a case manager in foster care. I currently work with complex foster young children and adolescents with extensive trauma backgrounds and challenging behaviours. I also case manage with children who are on NDIS. Have a lot of experience with children who have ASD and intellectual disabilities. i see myself always smiling, reliable, honest, fun, and respectful, and i have a friendly approach. my passion for children continues to grow every day. I am looking for some casual/weekend babysitting as i love being around children (toddlers especially) and happy to help out parents who need a break!
