About Me...

My name is Tayla and I love working with children.  I would like to travel domestically within Australia as an Au-Pair to experience working with different families and provide quality care for their children.  I live 2.5 hours south of Perth so am used to remote locations I have previously lived with a family on temporary basis, caring for a 12 month old boy and 6 year old girl, which has given me the experience to be able to adapt to different households.

Upon graduating Year 12  - (Cape Naturaliste College) – I gained employment with the City of Busselton as a Youth Development Trainee – Community, which ended at the end of January 2018, and as part of the Traineeship gained my Certificate IV in Community Services. 

For the past five years I have been trusted by family friends, work colleagues and other to take care of their children, which I thoroughly enjoy.

I have a current Working with Children Check, First Aid Certificate and an automatic drivers license.
