Activity summary
Caring and Reliable Babysitter with Experience in Childcare and Early Education
I am a Year 13 student, 17 years old, who is responsible, caring, and passionate about working with children. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for families. Through Gateway, I completed an 11-day student teaching placement in a Year 1 classroom, where I gained valuable hands-on experience assisting young learners and supporting classroom routines. I also have experience pet sitting and helping with household tasks, which has strengthened my reliability, organisation, and willingness to help wherever needed. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and families and approach every role with maturity and care.
