Experienced Babysitter for all ages

Hello Mums and Dads!
My name is Darcie and I grew up in a big family with 4 kids. I absolutely love sport, animals, my full time job and hanging out with my friends and family. My availability is week nights after 4:30pm and most weekends.

I have my first aid and CPR certificate (baby, infant and adult) and a lot of baby sitting experience. I grew up with asthma so I am very knowledgeable and comfortable around it. I also worked as an LSA for over 2 years at Palmerston Primary. I hope I can help you :)
This is also a very stressful time for some families so I would also love to help out with chores around the house if needed.
