Hi parents! My name is Aleyna and I am an enthusiastic and experienced babysitter who’s looking to assist any friendly family. As a current uni student studying primary education, I am passionate about caring for children and nurturing their curiosity, development, and overall wellbeing and growth. I love animals, with three dogs of my own, so furry friends are definitely welcome.
I have cared for multiple families over the course of four years, as well as experience in caring for my own, as an older sibling. My hobbies and interests include reading, movies, music, outdoors, dancing and painting. I have a kind, caring and nurturing nature. I am naturally a softhearted person, who has always adored children, and am also respectful, responsible, and reliable. I am able to follow strict guidelines and respect parents and kids' boundaries, as well as enforce my own. I am able to work flexible hours, both permanent and casual, and have my own car to be able to travel when necessary. I also have a registered ABN.
The kids that I work with love my ability to be fun! Having a childlike essence within myself, I am able to genuinely have fun and enjoy my time with the kids i'm caring for. I like to play games, get creative, get a little messy (cleaning up afterwards of course!), and create memories. I'm happy to engage with the interests of the kids, and do all kinds of activities. From princess tea parties, to scavenger hunts and toy car races.
There are so many things that I love about this work. The first of which being the bonds that you make with the children and their families. Being genuinely missed while away, and loved by the kids, are what make all the hardship and tantrums worth it. Seeing them grow and learn through my care is heartwarming and incredibly fulfilling. I also am able to learn so much through this work. Kids can teach you all kinds of things that many adults have lost touch with. For example creativity, imagination, humour, and wonder. Working with children helps me to reconnect with these things. I have a genuine passion of caring for children and I hope to continue to nurture that.
I look forward to meeting your family soon and starting our journey together! :) Thank you
