I just thought I’d give you a little information about myself and the work I have done in and around the childcare industry, and why I would like to continue to pursue this line of work. I am a down to earth and laid-back young lady. I enjoy walking on the beach, bush walks or anything to do with walking really. I enjoy spending quality time with the people I love and I am always willing to give new things a go. I have 15 first cousins which are all younger than me that I absolutely love and enjoy taking care of and spending time with. I have a clean full driver’s license, which I am able to drive both Manual and Automatic. I am able to start immediately and I am flexible with how long I am able to stay for, it all depends on you and your family’s needs. I have worked with children from the ages of 3 months to 15 years and I have done work experience/casual work in 3 different daycares – working from the ages of 3 months up to 5 years. This was over a one year period. Details of the families I was a nanny for include: First family; 3 children aged 18 months, 2.5 years and 4.5 years of age. As well as taking care of them, I also prepared meals from breakfast, lunch to dinners. Changed nappies, took them for walks to the beach and park, set up activities such as painting, play dough and much more. I also helped with general cleaning such as dishes and vacuuming. Second family; 3 children aged 5, 8 and 10 whilst looking after them, I make afternoon tea and dinners, as well as taking them to school activities, helped with homework and anything else required. Third family; 2 children aged 2 and 4. I worked either 6.45am to 3.15pm or 2.45pm to 11.15pm. I was required to help the boys get dressed, have breakfast and other general things to get them ready for the day. I took them to children play groups, to the beach, playgrounds, and we completed activities such as lego, playdough, educational counting and reading games on an iPad. I made lunches, afternoon tea and dinners, as well as bathing/showering, changing nappies, putting them into bed and reading stories. I also did general house hold cleaning such as dishes and vacuuming. Forth family; 2 children aged 9 and 15. I have recently finished working with this family on the Sunshine Coast. I was required to take the children to and from school, taking the youngest child to afternoon activities, helped him with homework, cooking dinners and anything else required. This finished due to school holidays starting. Fifth Family; 2 children aged 3 and 8 months. I looked after them 3 days a week, bottle feeding, changing nappies, and putting them down for naps. We played in their outdoor sandpit, and played different learning games together. I also prepared meals and did general cleaning around the house. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Nicole
