Hi, Neighbours! 🙋🏼♀️
**I will be overseas from 19th February to 11th March! Keen to plan ahead with dates for after I return!**
I am a dynamic, emotionally intelligent, experienced ECT working casually around Sydney.
*For school holidays: 5 days a week availability until mid Feb! BOOK NOW, as I will be accepting casual teaching shifts as they come! :)
I was born and raised in California with a Kiwi mum & American dad, so lots of family in NZ/Aus/UK! After my undergrad at UC Davis, I left to go travelling around Thailand visiting family friends, and on my own. Later in NZ, I was Nanny/au pair in Russell, Bay of Islands!
Eventually after seeing a lot of NZ via hitchhiking, I moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2013. After moving to Sydney in 2015, I decided to pursue my Master of Teaching at University of Sydney which gave me my Early Childhood Teaching qualification.
I am fluent in Spanish (one of my Bachelor degrees!) and am learning French using Duolingo. I know nik noi Thai, and the most important phrases in Arabic.
I am outgoing and open-minded. I can relate to children via their interests, or simply by listening to them and respecting their voice, getting to know them as individuals.
If required, I can help out with any instrument practice, music theory, etc, as I have experience from my school days with musical performance: flute & vocals - high school blues band and choir!
I keep busy with creative art, beach days, books & film and know enough sports to pick up any others or even have your child teach me a thing or two!
I have spent my entire professional life with children in some capacity, including: swim coaching, private lessons (beach and pool), mothers helper & babysitting from a young age, and most recently have been teaching in long daycare settings for the past 9 years!
Please flick me a message any time with questions and booking requests! Also let me know if Nova can come along, otherwise he’s happy at home with enough notice beforehand for a big long walk :)
Xx Robyn & Nova 🐾
