Warm and fun, experienced and reliable carer.
|
As a big kid myself, I love playing and stories, however the responsible adult in me enjoys a consistent routine, so meals, team cleaning, bath and bed times are just as fulfilling. I am comfortable with the line between authoritative and nurturing that a caretaker often walks. I have experience babysitting for a number of families and with each, I’ve learnt that there are special ‘rituals’ to uphold and am thrilled to be a part of your traditions in the making.
As a volunteer in various community organisations, I have accrued over 10 years experience helping, teaching and coordinating creche (6m – 2yo), pre-school (3 – 5yo) and primary (6 – 12yo) rooms. I have also trained new volunteers and developed program resources. I have volunteered as a leader on camps aimed at youth and youth with disabilities and have facilitated holiday programs for kids (1 – 12yo) and youth (13 – 25yo).
Currently, I’m completing a BA in Counselling and as placement (10mo) I’ve had many roles on the Wellbeing Team at Brentwood S.C. One-on-one/group counselling, mentoring and sub-management focusing on assessment and in-take. My role has involved working with highly anxious students disengaged from school and managing and mediating conflicts.
