Hi mums, dads and kids, I am a mother of 2 teenage daughters. I have had a lifetime of experience working with and being around children. I interact comfortably with children of all ages, making them feel at ease and happy. I just love kids! I am the eldest of 4 children, so I spent many years looking after my younger siblings. When I wasn't minding my siblings, I was babysitting my younger cousins. I have spent the past 17 years looking after my own children, as well as plenty of their friends...whether it be for play-dates, sleep-overs or just simply driving them from "a to b". I also mind my 5-year-old niece quite regularly. From the time my daughters commenced pre-school, I volunteered at their schools. In their younger school years, I spent each day assisting with guided reading and literacy groups, passive play at lunch times and gross motor skills. I assisted each year with all sporting events, including swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals, and managed teams on gala days. I volunteered in the canteen and with school fundraisers. Over the years, I have driven various children around, whether it be to zone carnivals or extracurricular activities. I have always been a mum that other parents can count on whenever help is needed! I have also assisted over the years with my daughters' extracurricular activities, such as gymnastics and trampolining. Whether it be assisting the coaches, helping at competitions or simply helping to pack up the equipment after each session, I have been willing to help. I was employed casually for 3.5 years child-minding for a market research company, which provided child-minding for mothers who were participating in market research groups. My employment ceased when the 2 owners of the company retired. So, as you can see, I have spent my entire life around children. They have been such a huge part of my life. Not only have they learnt from me, I have learnt so much from them, including a whole lot of patience and tolerance! I can't wait to meet you!

Hey! I am a qualified and caring educator with a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, and I hold a Working With Children Check, Police Check, First Aid, CPR, and Child Protection training.I have my own car and my provisional 2 (green) P plates Over the past few years, I have gained hands-on experience through Before and After School Care (BASC), working with children across a wide range of ages and needs. Creating environments where children feel safe, understood and like they belong. Working on identifying and maintaining clear communication, predictable routines and flexible strategies that support each child’s individual strengths and needs. I bring a deep, personal understanding of neurodiversity and additional support needs, which allows me to genuinely relate to children who experience the world a little differently. I am highly attuned to sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, communication differences, and the challenges that can come with transitions or changes in routine. This first-hand insight helps me approach care with empathy, patience, and respect, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I naturally adjust my tone, pace, and expectations to suit the child in front of me, whether that means giving extra processing time, offering choices, breaking tasks into manageable steps, or providing quiet support during big emotions. Because I understand these experiences from a first-person perspective, I am able to respond with empathy rather than urgency, helping children feel seen rather than corrected. I love doing arts and crafts, messy play, sensory play and trips to the park and on drives (we can even listen to your favourite music!). Cleanup from any activities is a certainty :)
