Event Creche Worker/Babysitter
Fairmont Resort
Placed through Abracadabra Childcare Services

This was a fun event where I was looking after one 11 year old boy whilst his parents attended a conference and gala dinner on site.  There was plenty to do, lots of fun activities, a games room, movie theatre and dinner for the children.  We engaged with the other children and carers before returning to the hotel room to settle for bed time until the parents returned home.
