Meet Eileen: A babysitter in Ivanhoe, VIC

Hi there, my 3 wonderful kids are now well raised adults.

I raised my kids with the approach of Dr Louise Porter who is well known for her work "Children are people too" and also John Gottman "How to raise an emotionally intelligent child". I'm a caring, helpful person who enjoys doing activities with kids. Happy to help out with housework and tutoring if spelling and reading need attention.

I am uni-qualified, I have a diploma in Primary teaching from years ago now and did teach for about 3 years back in my 20s, but went on to be an entrepreneur. I also have a stats in marketing and a Grad. Dip in Marketing.

I currently work for myself as an SEO (Search Engine Optimization Specialist) and web developer but am also a school crossing supervisor mornings and afternoons so I can't do school pick ups/drop offs. If you know anything about councils you'll understand you need to be fully verified to work for them, so I have been health checked, police checked and I hold a Working With Children Employee Card. Love my role as a 'lollipop lady' and giving a smile and greeting at the start and the end of the school day.

I love dogs as I have a very smart, sassy one myself who is well trained and has been a wonderful and delightful addition to our family.

I am interested in casual work. While I don't have a first aid certificate, I am considering obtaining one. I look forward to supporting your family.
