I am currently a student in year 12 studying at gilroy catholic college. I have done dog sitting in my house and at clients' homes for various dogs around my area (near Baulkham Hills) for small, medium and large dogs. I provide quality care for the dogs, taking them on 2 walks a day, feeding them multiple times a day, washing them, and spending a nice time with them.
Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life, as I have grown up with younger siblings and been surrounded by kids from a young age. Through this, I have developed patience, responsibility, and a strong sense of empathy. I truly love building connections with children and creating a safe, positive and nurturing environment where they feel happy and supported. I am currently studying Primary Education at university, as I am passionate about helping children learn and grow. Babysitting allows me to gain valuable hands-on experience while doing something I genuinely care about.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
