Hello,

Given he is eligible for funding the person must have an early child care qualification eg cert 3 in early childcare or currently studying it. Competitive hourly rate

* My son is fairly independent with getting ready and will be ready for school by the time the person arrives at 7:30 am. I usually have lunches packed but on the odd occassion it may involve finishing lunch off.
* Playing with him in the morning
* After school helping with homework
* Reminding him to have a shower (he can shower himself)

Essential criteria
* Experience with children
* Current first Aide

Hello I have 2 very energetic beautiful children. I'm Looking for someone who is energetic, warm, loving and bubbly. loves to get outside and kick a ball and do crafts. My husband and I run our own businesses. I do contract work, so I am flexible most of the time. We are heading into a busy period and looking for extra help.

I have a 12-month-old baby boy who is playful, active, and full of energy. He is still adjusting to eating solid foods and loves interacting and engaging with people.

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient babysitter with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 2 years old. He is nonspeaking, very active, and has a lovely happy temperament. He loves any movement-based activities to keep him entertained and regulated. So you need to be fit! He is also very quick so needs to be shadowed constantly.
