About the Role

- Flexible daytime care during the week, sometimes working alongside me at home, sometimes independently

- Supporting feeding, play, and development

Please send through a short intro, a little bit about how you like to interact with babies and what you think your strengths are and favourite parts of the job! your passion is our preference. and please let us know your availability ofcourse.
