Meet Emma: A nanny and babysitter in Coogee, NSW

Hi

My name is Emma, I am 25 years of age and have recently moved to Sydney from Waterford in Ireland.

I qualified as a primary school teacher 3 years ago and have been working with children in Ireland ever since.

From this experience I have developed a wide variety of interpersonal, decision-making and caretaking skills with good judgement when it comes to handling surprise situations and emergencies. I have good organisational/time management skills which are necessary to be able to plan and organise sometimes several hours of activities, meal times, sleep times etc with children. I understand and take very seriously the huge responsibility it is to look after your children and would be very much conscious of their safety and well being at all times. I am extremely reliable and flexible which is very important.

I enjoy working with children and finding out their likes/dislikes. I love all kinds of sports and play tennis, paddle tennis and enjoy running. I have completed up to grade 6 in my Irish Dancing exams. I have babysat my neighbours' children since I was 15. As a teenager, I would help out in our local tennis club with junior tennis camps and tournaments. I spent a Summer in Canada while at University and was a leader at a children's cycling camp. I completed a first aid course for this camp.

I am a friendly and enthusiastic person who enjoys looking after children.

I can confirm that I have my working with children check. I also have police check documentation safeguarding checks from Ireland.
