Hello! Welcome to my profile. I consider myself to be a fun, honest, reliable, compassionate and organised individual with a load of experience caring for my own gorgeous child (now all grown up) and precious others. Bucket loads of initiative. Providing a safe nurturing environment for the little ones to blossom, is what I aim to achieve. My professional background includes Nursing and qualifications in TAE, some hospitality experience too. Outdoor activity was a must in my family. I enjoy cooking. love ironing (multi task activity) if required, light housekeeping too. Being entrusted with the care of another's child is an honour and not taken lightly. My attention and focus is on the child and is one of the reasons I do not have a "Smart Phone". If your expectation is for updates via photos or vids etc, I am not the right person. I can do talk and text on my mobile phone when I am free and it is safe to do so. I look forward to engaging with you if you feel I fit with your expectations. I hope your day is a lovely one ! =) Anita NDIS provider for self managed funding participants (if required) NDIS rates apply.
