My name is Fabiola (Fabi).
I am an Australian Citizen (I have lived in Sydney most of my life and intend to continue residing in Sydney).
I have a current Working with Children Check and First Aid & CPR Certification.
I am fully vaccinated against COVID 19 as well as against flu and whooping cough.
I do not drive, but am very adept at travelling with babies and children on Public Transport.
I have a University of Sydney Bachelor of Arts (Honours in Education) degree with a triple major: Psychology/Education/Mathematics (my favourite subject being Developmental Psychology).
I have extensive experience as a nanny, babysitter and tutor: positions I have always thoroughly enjoyed. I believe that ensuring children's safety, and respecting them and listening to them is of utmost importance. I have loved and been fascinated by children ever since I can remember. Since I was 15, I have provided both paid and non-paid childcare: I have a natural aptitude for facilitating children's learning in a fun way. I love caring for babies; it is a privilege to be there when they are learning so much: the world we tend to take for granted is so brand new to them …. I delight in the "purity" of children and their behaviour. And when their behaviour is ah… beyond the pale, I take deep breaths and somehow tend to keep my cool!
I am a good communicator, mature, trustworthy, honest, reliable, nurturing, compassionate, loving, patient, friendly, kind, humorous, easygoing, active, energetic, and creative.
I care very much for nature and the environment and enjoy a healthy life style (e.g. I do not smoke).
I put my all into the babies, toddlers and children under my care. I positively impact their lives: being a good role model, seizing the opportunities that present themselves to further their development and education, having fun with them, and being there for them as they face life's challenges. I also provide solid support for the parents.
So, if you need a nanny, babysitter, educator or tutor who
a) absolutely loves interacting with babies (including newborns), toddlers and children,
b) is passionate and knowledgeable about childhood development and teaching, and
c) loves to feel like a part of the family,
well, here I am!
