Hi Mums and Dads.
I’m a mature aged mum of four beautiful young ladies who I’m so proud to call my daughters. Im also a grandmother to one very special and sweet little princess and 4 adorable grandsons.
I come from a European background. The youngest of four. Born and have lived in Sydney, Australia my whole life.
I’m also an Aunty to 9 nieces and nephews and a great Aunt to 12. Many of whom I have looked after from time to time.
I recently stopped working my full time corporate role.
I enjoy going to yoga, cooking, painting, gym and I’m currently trying very hard to learn piano and expanding on my vocabulary.
Im also greatful for a very loving and supportive partner who makes me smile every day!
I have been part of Juggle St for the past 6 years and have met so many sweet wonderful children and their families.
Naturally I also look after my grandchildren when their parents are in need.
When I became a mother, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to leave work and be at home to raise my daughters until the last one was off to school.
Whilst my own mum worked and lived some distance away and my husband ran a family business from dusk til dawn, I was pretty much the primary carer of our 4 girls. Raising them while juggling the household chores, cooking meals and running around between swimming lessons, dance classes for different age groups at different times and birthday parties. I do understand the pressures, ....that guilty feeling of being torn between spending quality time with your children versus LIFE...and the chores. I recall what relief an extra pair of arms were for my sanity and piece of mind :)
Having said all that, I don’t have any formal childcare qualifications, but I think I’m safe to say that Im well seasoned and pretty much completed my training on the job in real time and situations. There is nothing, no text book that beats first hand experience. My daughters are a testament to that and my greatest pride.
Friends and family know me well for my patience and my gentle placid nature.
I do have a natural tendency to nurture and protect. My love and admiration for children and their ability to often fascinate me and teach me, YES, teach me :) with their knowledge can cause me to break out into laughter at their insights, questions or their funny little ways. Equally, there is a time to be serious, rational and to listen to what could be causing them some distress and gently helping them manage their way out of that.
Caring for children particularly now that mine are grown, rewards me in a way that still makes me feel needed and gives me a great sense of being able to contribute in a positive way to those children and parents who may be looking for a helping hand. If you are looking for a caring, positive and very young at heart grandmother who has some wisdom and some of those good old foundations and qualities that can only come from lifes experiences, then I’m sure you won’t be sorry.
Will share with you what one very wise woman told me when I was raising my girls. “Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. Don’t be afraid to show them love, warmth and care, but along the way also be mindful to instil in them ( the tools that we have been given to to teach them with ) ie: respect, consideration, discipline and understanding”. These are some life gifts that every child deserves from the adults in their life particularly in those first years. And although it’s “not always easy” as my mother often said, they will be sure to thank you one day, and you will be proud to see your children living a happy and well rounded life as as adults.
Nothing more rewarding than being able to smile knowing that all the years of hard work were well worth the effort. It can be a challenge balancing and juggleing the two, but I guess too that considering the enormity of a human life....and putting that into perspective....no one that has been successful raising children has ever said it was easy :)
And I can honestly say, that after all these years with my own daughters, my mum was absolutely right!
So easy to get caught up in little ones cuteness, so easy to forget just how important a job we have as adults to give them the best foundations for what will be the majority of their life as adults.
At this stage, I welcome casual opportunities to parents who are in need of a babysitter in the late afternoon/evenings weekdays. I’m also open for babysitting on weekends.
I’m friendly and easy going. Open to building to a trusted friendship.
Please note that my new rate in 2025 is $40 p.h.
I have extensive experience in childcare, supported by a formal Diploma in Early Childhood Education. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of various age groups, fostering their development in safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments. My role has included planning and implementing age-appropriate activities that support cognitive, emotional, and social growth while ensuring children's well-being and safety at all times.
Hi Mum and Dad's, I'm a mother of 5 grown children and grandmother to 16 grandchildren, so have years of experience up my sleeve. I don't have responsibility now, so would be available outside hours of my volunteering at my church. I hold a current police check.
I am a goodness woman who loves taking care of the elderly and children and has relevant work experience. I am skilled in cooking and indoor organization and have a deep love for nature.
Hi mums and dads. I'm a mum of two kids one 21 year old boy and one 18 year old girl. I'm a honest and reliable person.
