More Than a Sitter—A Mentor, Homework Helper & Friend Hi, I'm Electra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a
Hi, I'm Elektra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a passion for working with children and helping them thrive. With over five years of childcare experience caring for younger family members and two years of professional babysitting experience, I've learned that every child deserves a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can be themselves.
I love staying engaged with the children I care for, whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, doing creative activities, or simply being a patient and encouraging presence throughout their day. As an author and avid reader, I enjoy fostering curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning.
Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is not just to provide childcare, but to be someone children feel comfortable with and someone parents can trust with confidence.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Norfolk for work.
