Meet Mariah: A babysitter in St Kilda, VIC

Hi, my name is Mariah :)

I have just completed my Occupational Therapy degree and start work as a New Graduate Paediatric OT in Feb. I am looking for casual babysitting work throughout the summer and casually on Friday/Saturday evenings.

The reason I decided to pursue Occupational Therapy is because of my passion for working with kids!

I was lucky enough to have multiple paediatric placements across the course of my degree, both in private practice and in specialist schools.

I have experience working in Kindergartens as an Additional Assistant and worked in both Canada and Scotland as an Au Pair/Live-in Nanny, which was an incredible experience.

I love to 'muck-in' with the kids, take them on outings and participate in engaging activities. I will always show respect and compassion towards kids as they navigate their emotions. I am happy to prepare kids meals, do the kids laundry and the night-time routine etc. My previous work experience, coupled with my compassion, enthusiasm, honesty and nurturing nature allows me to build a wonderful rapport with children and parents.

I look forward to hearing from you if this sounds like the right fit!
