Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

Aside from being a housewife and parent to my two boys, I enjoy volunteering at their school. I have completed a Certificate IV in School Based Education Support. While my children are at school, I have some spare time, and I would love to use it to help other mums and families who could use an extra hand. I am a good cook and enjoy all kinds of housework. I pay close attention to detail and take pride in keeping a home clean, tidy, and organized. If you enjoy Japanese food, I would be happy to cook authentic Japanese meals for your family. I am caring, patient, friendly, and energetic. I prefer children to spend less time on screens, especially when they are young, so I like coming up with creative activities and games to keep them engaged and entertained. Whether you need help with cleaning, cooking, or caring for your children, I would be happy to support your family and make your daily life a little easier. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to ask me time and dates. I can be flexible or even change.
