I have a Social Science Degree (majoring in social welfare) & I also have a Diploma in Community Welfare Work, a current First Aid Certificate & a Blue Card. I have my own car, an open drivers license & of course I adore children & I am very competent with babies, twins including newborns & I'm happy to do a double up with friends or other family members, depending on how many children & their ages. I am a mum & my daughter has her own young children, so I am also just Nana to my adorable grandchildren. I am available on the weekends to babysit, I just require prior notice & if possible, I do like to meet the children before I babysit. I feel that this makes everyone much more comfortable & gives you, the parent, peace of mind. Otherwise, I am happy to arrive at least 15mins early to allow some time to meet & play with the children before you leave. I've completed a Diploma in Early Childhood Education & Care & I worked for 9 yrs as the Lead Educator in all the rooms from 6weeks to 6 years. I currently work in before & after school care program with school age children. Please Note: I charge $30 per hour as this rate ensures I cover my fuel since the fuel increase thanks Deb.
