Hi! I’m a 20 year-old, who is passionate about working with children. This year, I’ll be starting a course: Certificate lll in outside hours school care . I have a Working with Children’s Check, a First Aid Certificate, and a Certificate of Completion from a Babysitting course I took through SitterTrain. (These can all be verified)

Although this is my first time babysitting professionally, I have years of experience looking after my three younger siblings. They’ve been a big inspiration for me to pursue childcare, and through them, I’ve learned how to keep kids safe, engaged, and entertained.

I’m a creative, imaginative person who loves to read, and I enjoy incorporating fun and educational activities into my time with kids. I’m excited to bring my caring, responsible attitude to childcare and I look forward to working with you.
