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.

Positive, reliable and Kind Carer

Hi all!🤠

My name is Alkira.. I am 22 years old and currently in the process of study and work to furthering my professional career in childcare.. i believe I am fun yet professional, I have a range of different crafts, books, and fun activities that I like to bring, depending on what your child may be interested in or enjoy doing.

I see each child as a unique individual and support them each their own way. I learn to understand them through all of their expressions and am able to hold that safe space for them to freely do so.

Making sure that our future looks bright, means making sure that their education and care is diversely supporting and nurturing their curious minds and natures. This is something I whole heartedly beleive and consider when I am working with children.

I admire and respect families and children from all cultures and walks of life, and am able to fulfil whatever it is that you and your family may need.
I feel confident and hopeful that I am able to care in the best way I know how aswell as create authentic and healthy bonds with both you and your little loved ones.

Look forward to speaking to you soon!❁❀
