I am warm, fun and professional. I am a mother to five, with my oldest having ASD, ODD, ADHD and Int Dis who is currently working (18 yrs old now). I worked as a nurse AIN (Assistant In Nursing) for Inala- a home caring for Adults with severe Intellectual and physical disabilities for over 3 years. I served as a full time private personal care nurse AIN) for various families accompanying their loved one when they have had to spend time in hospital. I complete my Bachelors Degree in Social Science (Counselling), registered as a therapist. During this time I worked full time for 3 years in the Disabilities Employment Industry.

I have worked as a tutor for both primary aged children as well as for University students: subjects of: research, art literature, history, nursing. I am presently completing my BA of Psychology. I am sensitive to the needs of my clients and I am flexible where ever I can… taking also factors of any sensory processing needs into consideration: eg: the environmental noise disturbances, phobias ... Ect... I consider it an honour to be adaptable to the requirements and needs of each family and to be honoured to able spend time your precious little ones. I take my role in the lives of other families seriously, as I see each family unit as my priority to support. Due to a full schedule I am presently only available for casual bookings (largest being 2 -3 week commitments at most ) babysitting/tutoring/behavioural management assistance. (EG: I’m not presently able to make bookings of “every Monday week for 2 months”). Thank you for your understanding. The time I am most free: is from 5pm on Monday, Some Saturdays. I’m so excited to be here and able to enjoy meeting so many little ones in many families. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time (and have fun) with your kids… if I can support your family please let me know. Kindest Regards April
