Natalie S.
Isle of Capri
Experienced, reliable and trustworthy babysitter and tutor
Hello my name is Natalie. I am looking for part-time/casual babysitting or tutoring work.
I am caring, fun, mature, responsible, reliable, cheerful and enthusiastic, however I am also able to enforce rules. I am keen to find a family I can work with regularly or occasionally but consistently.
I love working with children. I take an interest in the lives of all the children with whom I work. I am also an animal lover.
I have experience with children of all ages with extensive experience with children aged 3 to 12 years. I also have experience with intellectually disabled children, having had a sister with Down Syndrome.
I worked in my school's after-school care facility for 3 years and I have many years of babysitting and childcare experience. I have also worked managing events and activities for kids and teaching dance classes in early childcare and education settings.
I have excellent communication skills from 10 years of Drama and Communication and multiple years of debating experience as well as success in multiple foreign language speaking competitions. I am competent to communicate with people of all ages. I am also familiar with Australian Key (Makaton) Sign Language. I am enthusiastic to provide a fun but controlled environment for children with whom I work.
I am interested in arts and crafts, trips to the park or a cafe, playing with toys or around the house, assisting with homework and reading activities and even just hanging out having fun. I love music and singing. I have a strong background in music, language and Drama and Communication. I enjoy spending time with children and they become my sole focus when I am with them. I am comfortable and confident caring for both boys and girls and for children of any age. I will warn you though, I am a stickler for manners.
I have QCE levels of maths, legal studies and top-stream English. I also speak/read/write and understand 4 foreign languages. I studied Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and French at school (grades 6-12) and French, Chinese and Spanish at university. Languages are my passion, along with Feng Shui and music and followed closely by dance and drama. It would be a pleasure to work with a family with children of any age, either occasionally or frequently.
