Hi everyone! I'm Chantel, a mum to an energetic 5-year-old boy, and I'm looking to earn a little extra cash. I'm a diploma-qualified childcare educator with over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I hold a current First Aid certificate, Working With Children Check (WWCC), and Anaphylaxis training. Depending on the hours you're after, I may need to bring my son along. He's a friendly (shy) little boy who would love nothing more than having a playmate while I care for your children.

I’ve also worked as a camp counsellor and lifeguard in the US, living alongside and caring for girls aged 6–14, and volunteered as an English teacher in rural Thailand.

I am currently taking a break from the corporate world, reconsidering my career and have chosen to get back into child care as a casual/contracting babysitter, nanny and/or au-pair. I am looking at studying Psychotherapy, with the goal to move into Play Therapy and working with children. Throughout my life, I worked with children on and off. Most recently I have been teaching Kids Yoga, and have developed my own Kids Yoga program. I also have experience working with children as a babysitter, an au-pair and have assisted at nursery schools back in the day. I strive for personal integrity, clear communication, laughter, play, community and compassion. I love children and am always delightfully humbled by their unique view of the world. I find their love of life inspiring and love to explore and re-learn with them.

I am a current university student who is studying to become a teacher, and wants to gain experience looking after children.
