Meet Sarah: A babysitter in Fitzroy North, VIC

I have a Graduate Diploma of Education, an Honours degree in psychology, and several years' of experience working with children aged 0-5 in kindergarten and long daycare settings. I have also worked with primary school-aged children as a nanny/babysitter, and I have an 11-year-old.

I am patient, kind, and joyful, and I love working with children. Some of my favourite activities to do with children are reading books, playing games, making art, exploring the outdoors, and going on outings to places like the museum. I am happy to follow the interests of each child, whether it be reading the same book 20 times or getting on my hands and knees to play with them. My own interests include swimming, yoga, meditation, art, travel, and playing guitar.

I choose not to work with children when they have infectious illnesses, because I have asthma.

I can cook, clean up after children (with their help when appropriate), and help with light tasks, eg laundry, but not heavy cleaning or washing a preexisting pile of dishes.

I currently have flexibility with times, so feel free to reach out even if my schedule doesn't say that I'm available.
