Hi Caregivers, My name is Ivy, and I am 18 years old. I have recently relocated to Newcastle from Adelaide to attend the University of Newcastle, where I will be doing the open foundations program tgen hopefully a bacgelir of primary education I hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and have extensive experience caring for children through both babysitting and my professional studies. Most of my babysitting experience has been for friends’ and family members’ children, allowing me to develop strong skills in providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care. I am a caring, confident, patient, and reliable individual who is passionate about supporting children’s growth and wellbeing. I enjoy staying active, creating fun and engaging activities, and building positive relationships with the children and families I work with. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and children and families who have experienced trauma. I am committed to providing an inclusive, understanding, and supportive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family.
I have done professional development in Autism and ADHD. I have also worked very closely with neurodivergent children both ages 3-13.
I’ve been looking after children on and off for the past 3-4years for family, friends and extended friends. I am most comfortable working with young children aged 0-10years. I complete Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care on the 31st October 2025.
