I have grown up in a large Italian family in Australia, where family is very important and children are treasured and included as important members of the household from an early age. I find babysitting a very rewarding role and enjoy playing with and looking after children. Looking after children has always come as second nature to me and I have experience teaching them and looking after them, professionally for the last twenty years. Prior to that, I looked after my two younger sisters and many cousins from when they were new born, all the way into high school.
I am a qualified musician with a Masters in Music Performance. I have twenty years experience teaching students singing, piano and recorder. I am in my final year of a Masters of Teaching. I have a current working with children’s check. I am a very warm and approachable person and I relate to children well. Knowing that children are very perceptive and emulate adults quickly, I understand the importance of interacting with them on a mutually respectful level and enjoy speaking and entertaining them. I have experience cooking for children and also setting a bed time routine. I am looking for casual work only, or permanent weekend only work, as I currently undertaking primary school placements as part of my final year of my Masters. However, I am open to hear from all people requiring assistance.
