Looking for: Part-time, Casual Babysitting

I am a passionate and dedicated educator, holding a Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies. After successfully running my own company for more than 30 years, I am now semi-retired and working solely with children of all age groups and requirements. I am skilled in creating educational and engaging activities, ensuring children’s safety, nurturing and wellbeing, as well as supporting children’s emotional and cognitive development. I have a great attention to detail and am meticulous in household management, meal preparation and developing strong relationships with families.

I am patient, kind, gentle, fun and loving and hold a special interest in children with learning and physical disabilities.

I have cared for children from newborn to adolescence and those with ADHD, OCD, PTSD and anxiety, as well as children and teens with cerebral palsy, Spina bifida, arthritis and other physical and mental challenges.

I have flexibility with my time and am happy to be of service any time - day, evenings or weekends.
