I have a range of hobbies and interests such as crochet & sewing, painting, guitar & piano, karate, and plan to attend university in 2026, studying to become an accountant. While my work experience is limited due to my focus on education, i am passionate about helping my community and have been looking after family and friends children since i was young. I also own three cats and a dog (greyhound x mastiff), and have grown up with 3 cats in our household at all times and i help look after them.
My mother has been working in childcare since before i was born, and i take great inspiration to her strengths and abilities. I am also in the process of getting my first aid certification.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Glenorchy for work.

Hi! I am currently studying for my Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care and looking for some more experience working with children before applying for a childcare job. I have a HLTAID012 First Aid certificate (this includes CPR and emergency and non-emergency First Aid) and a Working with Children check.
I am a kind and creative person, I love painting, drawing and caring for others!
Hi, I'm Sarah,
I'm a fun, energetic, caring individual who has had plenty of experience looking after children. I've spent many years babysitting, coaching gymnastics, nannying, and working as classroom support. I'm originally from Alice Springs, and moved to Tassie for university, where I am studying law, with aspirations to go into family law. I find working with children to be highly rewarding, and I love seeing the joy on a child's face when they achieve a goal or have fun trying something new. I enjoy reading, and playing board games, but I am also quite sporty and find active activities very fun too. I aspire to be friendly, outgoing, patient, and kind in all aspects of life. I am also comfortable with pets, being a person who grew up with cats, dogs, and fish, but also worked in a cattery and boarding kennels back in Alice Springs. I can provide references if needed. Feel free to get in contact🙂
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Sandy Bay for work.
