I am 50yrs young, bringing maturity, dependability, commitment, empathy, patience, creativity, health, safety, love and lots of fun, to assist busy young families. An all-rounder, I whistle when I work, tidying and teaching the wee ones as I go. A veritable child whisperer, I started babysitting at 14, and was "nannified" at the formative age of 20, trained to high standards in the UK for 5yrs, and another 5yrs in Toronto Canada, until I opened my own boutique daycare (Dearhearts Daycare 2005-2018) which specialised in 4m up to 5yrs of age. I have cared for newborns to 12yrs, and twins (double the fun!) and provided night nannying and sleep training. I am a Canadian & Australian citizen, hold updated infant, child and adult 1stAid/CPR & ART. I am a super duper cook, and also an artist, teaching arts, crafts, languages, sport and more. A part-time position would be ideal. If you are in Sydney, it would be wonderful if you offer consecutive days and a spare room for me to stay overnight, as I live in 2251. I also have a small, gentle nanny dog. Children are calmed by her...instantly! She is definitely an added bonus, if your family is comfortable with a dog in your home. No problem, if not :))
