Hi there! I work primarily as a musician / songwriter and provide child care as a supplementary job because I love working with kids. I have previous experience in a casual capacity caring for children of all ages, from babies to grade-schoolers in holiday programs and private care as well as recent experience working as a sports coach with ages 1.5-12. I also previously worked as a public servant so I’m efficient and dedicated. I aim to always provide an engaging, enthusiastic, caring and nurturing environment for little ones and I’m passionate about engaging kids and encouraging creativity and expression through activities like drawing, reading, crafting, music, sports, adventure and games. I’m proud to be affirming and accepting of all kinds of families and do have some experience with things like ADHD. I’m a dog & cat mum and also have pet sitting experience so will love any household pets and will also be happy to do light home duties and cooking.

Hi there!
My name is Abi, I’m 16 years old and truly love working with and caring for kids. I am a current year 11 student at Lake Ginninderra college, and have experience working with children. I have done some casual babysitting and coach children’s basketball so I do have experience caring for kids. I am an engaging and fun person and positive influence for children.
I have many of my own interests such as sports, music, nature and art, but enjoy participating in your child’s interests just as much. If your child enjoys doing something, I’m pretty much guaranteed to enjoy it too!
I am also more than happy to help with homework or tutoring, I love teaching young minds new things and helping them learn and grow.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Belconnen for work.
