My name is Ava, I am originally from Ireland. I arrived in Sydney in September. I am a primary school teacher with a lot of experience working with children in various school settings. I have run after-school sports clubs and arts and crafts clubs in schools, where I focus on fostering creativity, teamwork, and personal growth. In addition, I have led summer camps designed specifically for children with additional needs, ensuring that every child has an enriching and enjoyable experience. I also facilitate friendship-building clubs, helping children develop strong social skills and positive relationships. I have over eight years of experience nannying and babysitting for three gorgeous families in Ireland & and one family in France. My love for kids is at the heart of everything I do. Whether I am teaching in the classroom or babysitting, I am dedicated to creating a warm and supportive environment where children feel valued and encouraged. I am very flexible with my work hours. I am happy to negotiate hours to tailor what suits your family’s needs. I can also offer household duties while I babysit and help with the preparation of meals. I am a huge pet lover so if you have any furry friends I would be more than happy to meet them too. I would be more than delighted to offer dog walking as part of my duties. I am a warm, caring person and I am well-equipped to provide a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment for your children. I would love to meet you and your family to discuss my qualifications in more detail. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about me. I would be delighted to hear from you soon.
Special needs education: working with children with Autism spectrum disorder, dyspraxia and Down syndrome to help them socially and emotionally develop
I am a primary school teacher. I have taught children the ages of 4-5 for two years. I am a very experienced babysitter. I have spent over eight years babysitting for families in my locality. As a primary school teacher who primarily worked with children aged 4 to 6, my experience includes creating engaging lesson plans that foster a love for learning. I focus on developing foundational skills in literacy and numeracy through interactive activities, storytelling, and play-based learning. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment that supports emotional and social development, encouraging collaboration and communication among students. I also work closely with parents to ensure a holistic approach to each child's growth, addressing their unique needs and celebrating their progress. My approach combines structured learning with creative expression, allowing children to explore their interests while developing essential skills.
In my role as a primary school teacher, I have extensive tutoring experience that complements my classroom instruction. I have spent five years tutoring and I have worked one-on-one with students who needed additional support, helping them develop foundational skills in reading, math, and writing. I tailored my approach to meet individual learning styles, using engaging materials and interactive techniques to enhance understanding and retention. Additionally, I have facilitated small group sessions focused on specific subjects or skills, encouraging collaboration and peer learning. My experience includes preparing students for standardized tests, which involved creating targeted practice sessions and monitoring progress. This personalized attention has not only improved academic performance but also boosted student confidence and motivation. I believe this background equips me well for the tutoring role, as I am adept at fostering a supportive learning environment and adapting my strategies to meet diverse needs.
