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!

Hi Families 😊 My name is Jamie. I am a Nanny and Early Childhood Professional with over 15 years of supporting children of all ages. I began my career working one on one with children having additional needs. This gave me an incredible insight into the individualality of children's learning styles and needs. My purpose and absolute joy was really getting to know them, building that trust and bond so I could then develop individual learning and development plans and adapttive supportive techniques. I then transitioned into various Preschool roles. Taking on a variety of responsibilities, from Educator, to cook when we didn't have someone for months, to 2IC, supporting the director with enrolments and overall operation of the centre.. As a long standing educator, I knew familes throughout their journey. From even before the child was conceived right through until my planning of their graduation to formal schooling. Also all their siblings which was a beautiful place to be when their siblings are in the same environment for their learning and growing journey. 💗 Finally, I also bring creative and engaging experience from my time in journalism, production and music. I was part of a children's game show called Challenger, inventing fun and interactive activities to engage Children's interest. The show was an opportunity to challenge their minds, their problem solving and cognitive skills, their creative thinking, and their confidence and participation. And of course having fun while doing it ! Following are my current credintials but of course always updating and upskilling Working With Childrens Check Child Protection Course NDIS Worker Check Certificate III In Early Childhood Education and Care. Advanced First Aid and CPR Bachelor in Special and Inclusive Education ( albeit only 3 years in with UNE) If you made it though all that 😅 I look forward to the opportunity to support and get to know your family.
