ABRACADABRA CHILDCARE SERVICES

During this time I was working as both a part-time and casual Nanny for various private families with children ranging in age from newborn to teenage years.  I was responsible for getting the children up and ready for the day, dressing, preparing breakfast, ensuring school aged children had everything they needed for the day, school drop off and pick up, organising fun daily outings to the park, library, playgroups and age appropriate activities in the home.  Educational play and stimulating games and activities, stories and reading, arts and crafts, cooking and general household duties.

As a Creche Manager I was responsible for purchasing age appropriate activities, room set up and pack, ensuring all creche forms were made available to the parents and liaising with them on all levels.  I was also responsible for supervising creche staff.  The groups of children would range in age from 0 to 10 years and the number of children at the events would range from 5 children to 30 children.  I would ensure that the space was large enough to accommodate the children and would also conduct site inspections to ensure that the space was safe.

Other Courses

For over 7 years I have worked as a permanent part-time Nanny offering a helping hand to busy parents by caring for their children ranging in age from newborn to teenage years and carrying out household duties to assist with the smooth running of a busy household.  When I had my children I continued working as a casual Nanny with families and as a Creche Manager for corporate events. As a childcare educator, babysitter, nanny for various families, I have encountered a variety of children and family situations which have shaped me into a flexible and quick-thinking worker. I work mainly with families with multiple children, and am very comfortable with this position. With young children I encourage child led play, being outdoors, messy play and reading time. I value the interests of the child and encourage their imagination.

My husband and I are very fortunate to be able to run our own small businesses from home and we are now in a position for me to be able to return to work on a part time basis to work towards our future goals. I have a passion for working with children and understand the importance of having a trustworthy carer to look after your loved ones.
