Meet Josephine: A nanny and babysitter in Seven Hills, NSW

Im 60 .I live in seven hills. I have 4 daughters of my own, all grown up. And three granddaughters. I love animals. Craft. Gardening. Picnics. Being with my family & our pets. I am a fairly experienced lady having nannied - full time (8am - 5pm) for twenty three years in my home - whilst also raising my own four children, for close friends who are school teachers and nurses. I have taught Sunday School for 27 years - (3 years of that time, I led it) and I ran a Tuesday evening girls group for 5- 10 years at the Salvation Army in Blacktown. The Group is called Sunbeams -( like Girl Guides).

I am easy going, adaptable and love spontaneity. I love to be kept busy, even if it's just pottering around at home. i have spent many hours just playing with and watching my own grandchildren play.

I have worked for 4 agencies in lifestyle Support Worker roles. Often in disability support roles. I worked for 2 years full time, caring for a disabled gentleman, who had cerebral palsy and autism and leukemia. it involved helping him keep his house going (cleaning, shopping, pay bills and taking him to his specialist and therapists and also enjoying some of his family get togethers.

I completed a Statement of Attainment course in Community Services at TAFE in 2008. I cared for my 2 little granddaughters - 2 & 4 yrs) so my daughter could return to work 3 days a week. That has finished now as they are in school. I have driven children to and from school in a paid capacity. I was a school crossing guard for a year. Loved that role.

I’m really only looking for driving roles now as I’m retired. But am happy to babysit/ nanny as well. Some light housework is okay. Just not vacuuming or washing floors as my vack isnt as young as it used to be. I do like to keep busy.

My WWC, Police Check & First Aid cert have obviously all expired , however I’m renewing them at the moment. I can show my previous checks and certificates. And referees.
