Hi families of the Gold Coast! I just moved here from Sydney to start Medical School at Griffith University and am looking for some casual work while I study. I am the second youngest of 15 cousins, most of which have had children so I’ve looked after lots of crazy little ones. I also did some babysitting when I completed my undergraduate degree around Sydney’s North Shore where I grew up, plus looking after my little sister. I’ve lived out of home for 4 years now so I know how to cook and clean. I have my full drivers licence and have never had any road accidents. I’m up to date will all vaccinations and have also completed my full First Aid training and CPR courses. I’m looking forward to getting to know the families of my new community while starting my medical degree and hope to meet you soon!
I have casually looked after children for many years on an inconsistent basis, providing babysitting relief for my cousins when they needed a night off the kids and for neighbours while I was in my early 20s. I’ve also looked after my partner’s niece when she was 3-months old. I am comfortable with most ages but have had more experience with pre-school and school aged kids. I find building a relationship with kids and their unique personalities the most rewarding part of babysitting so would love to have consistent work with a family but am also available for once-offs. I’d also happily look after slightly older kids and can help mentor or tutor kids to help reach their academic goals or even be a secondary support person in their life. I had nanny’s around while in high school and always looked up to them and appreciated their advice and support.
I have tutored for 3 years while in high school and university particularly in mathematics and science (biology and chemistry) but also economics and English. My own qualifications include an ongoing Doctor of Medicine which I am currently studying postgraduate at Griffith University, a Bachelor of Advanced Science and a Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation, plus a Higher Schools Certificate. I have also worked for two years in banking so have a wide range of subjects I am interested in and can tutor to students. My tutoring services involve personalised support for students and creating comprehensive plans to improve academic performance and provide regular feedback to students and parents. I believe in helping students understand concepts and not just providing the answer for them or memorising a method. The best part about tutoring is seeing my students results improve!
