Child Carers in Ripponlea , VIC

Hello families: I believe caring for children is a responsibility that requires consistency, respect and presence. Children are growing into the adults who will shape the future, so the way we care for them today matters. My experience as a mother, university professor and volunteer with Brahma Kumaris Australia, has strengthened my understanding of patience, listening, emotional care and healthy routines. I enjoy creating a calm environment where children can feel safe, respected and free to learn, play and be themselves.

Dear Parents, I am originally from Ireland. Growing up in a large family with two brothers and one sister, I’ve always been surrounded by children, and this has greatly influenced my passion for caring for others. I come from a family-oriented background, where helping and looking after younger siblings and relatives was second nature. With many years of experience caring for children between the ages of 5 and 12, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and learn. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family!
