| Hi families! My name is Caitlin, I am 18 years old and currently in my first year of nursing at ACU. I hold my blue card, police check, first aid and CPR certificates.

I love working with kids and I see myself as a fun, responsible and caring person who would love to care for your children!

| Hello! My name is Daniela, Early childhood care student, piano teacher and babysitter with more than eight years of experience. I would love to help you!

| I have a second class honours degree in Early Childhood Studies. I have previously worked in a nursery for 13 months. Working with children ranging from the ages of 7 months to 4 years old. During my time in this job I helped the children to develop, grow and learn. I also made the children’s teas and changed their diapers.

| I have over 5 years experience in childcare. I love children and I believe children can be groomed to be confident, assertive, respectful and gracious young persons. I bring my own first aid kit, safe toys and books because children usually like to have something different to play with than the toys they have at home everyday. I strike a balance between being gentle, and being firm without losing my temper when I need to be. I have experience with keeping children with ADHD stimulated.
