I am currently in Grade 11 at Ryde Secondary College, I have been a scout since I was 11 years old which has given me extensive knowledge in safety and first aid, as a part of this I have also obtained a first aid certificate and thorough first aid experience. I have been working at part time jobs since the age of 14, when I first worked with kids at birthday parties and school holiday programs, after a year and a half I left that job to work at Grill'd Burgers which provided me with more customer service skills, after leaving that job, I currently work at a different birthday party business where I teach children in gymnastics during their parties.
I also have experience babysitting many children from families in the local area.

I am in year 10 at high school and have worked with children in the past at a kids yoga and gymnastics company I worked there for one year. I also have 2 younger cousins that I have babysat before one of my cousins is a 7 year old girl and the other is a 1 year old boy. I really enjoy babysitting and I am a responsible.
Experienced with children of different age, I am offering weekly babysitting :)
Hi! My name is Adriana. I am 23 years old, and I am currently a student at UNSW in Sydney. I want to do babysitting because I love being around children; I enjoy their positivity, energy, and endless creativity. Coming from a family of six, I have two siblings who are 10 years younger than me. Since they were born, I have been like their second mom. I looked after them alone, feeding them, taking them to bed, and so on. On top of that, during high school, I ran art classes for children in primary school and worked as a coordinator in children's summer camps during several summer holidays. I believe that I have learned over those years how to talk and act around children and also how to earn their trust. I can offer a few hours of babysitting once per week regularly, and we could also arrange some one-time sessions when needed. I live in Haymarket, so I would prefer locations close to 2000, Sydney. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
