Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I’m 20 years old and I’ve loved getting the chance to work with kids in different settings. I’ve worked in education support with ages 5–12, including supporting children with special needs, helping them learn and grow. I also recently spent a summer in the U.S. at a camp with kids aged 7–12, which was such a fun and rewarding experience. Working with children has made me really interested in understanding people and what shapes who they are, and that’s a big reason why I want to study psychology in the near future.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Bringing up a family is a big job and I have lots of time and energy to give to help you provide a bit of extra care, support and fun with raising your children. I can help your family by lending a hand when you need it or on a more permanent basis. I have experience caring for children of all ages and am prepared to help with extra tasks wherever and whenever it is required. I also love pets and enjoy cooking too. I have had tonnes of experience in community pharmacy and in hospitality and have raised two children of my own who are now fully grown. I am a genuine down to earth sort of person and have a can do attitude and feel happy to be able to ease the pressure a little on the very stretched time parents grapple with when raising children. Please feel free to contact me and figure out a plan that suits for your family.

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

hi parents! i have been babysitting since i was 16 years old, and this led me into doing qualifications in early childhood after high school. Worked at the royal children's hospital early learning centre for 2 years. i was a room leader in the toddlers room, i also looked after a Down syndrome once a week. The reason i left RCH was to travel and work overseas in italy as a nanny/tutor. i was there for 6 months then went back to italy again the year after with the same family for another 4 months. Went back to study and completed social work and am now working as a case manager in foster care. I currently work with complex foster young children and adolescents with extensive trauma backgrounds and challenging behaviours. I also case manage with children who are on NDIS. Have a lot of experience with children who have ASD and intellectual disabilities. i see myself always smiling, reliable, honest, fun, and respectful, and i have a friendly approach. my passion for children continues to grow every day. I am looking for some casual/weekend babysitting as i love being around children (toddlers especially) and happy to help out parents who need a break!
