Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I am an 19 year old Nursing student, once I graduate from my bachelor I plan on specialising in paediatric care. I have always loved working with and caring for children. I spent my teen years volunteering for a youth camp and have worked as a before and after school carer for the past year. I love the creativity of children and understanding the way they see the world as well as being able to teach, protect and support them when interacting with the world outside the bubble of childhood. I am used to working with children with special needs and am prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure both guardian and child feel comfortable.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I'm super determined to try new things and gain lots of experience. My time at arts school really shaped me. I love being creative and challenging myself. It's not just about the art itself, but also about finding new ways to solve problems and think outside the box. I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. Having two sisters and a fun childhood has definitely inspired me to want to work with kids. Growing up, it was all about creating fun and positive experiences together, and that's something I want to share with others. I believe that my ability to connect with kids, combined with my creative mindset, would make me great at creating engaging and supportive environments for them. I'm excited to find opportunities where I can bring my energy and creativity to make a positive impact.
