| My name is Nicole, and I have a passion for working with children and have done so from a young age. I am living in Main Beach however happy to travel up to 25km. I have several years of experience as an early years teacher and then moved into a corporate role overseeing kids programs. This involved planning and coordinating activities for children between the age of 1-12 and training the team to care for them. I have done many years of babysitting for both boys and girls for 3 - 10 years old. The majority of my experience revolves around caring for children under 5, I've also spent significant time babysitting primary-aged children and currently work on a casual basis in Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) for school-age kids. I love creating fun and engaging activities that incorporate a lot of play but also learning. For under 5s, this could include baking, play dough, imaginary play, colouring or the like. For older children teaching board games, sports or helping with homework. High communication and building strong relationships with both children and their families is a priority for me. I would be more than happy to answer any more questions you may have, so feel free to reach out.

| Hi I am 56 years old and have 3 adult children and 1 grandchild. I have a work history as a teacher aide in NZ for 15 years. I moved to Australia with my husband to be nearer my kids and decided to become a nanny for a beautiful family in the Gold Coast where I have been for the last 8 years. The children are growing up and don’t need me as much so I am spreading my wings. I have a lot of experience working with babies up to teenagers, love animals and having fun. I am nurturing, reliable and honest.

| I have gained experience in childcare by watching my boyfriend's nephews at any given time, in which I would prepare breakfast, take them to the playground, entertain them at home with games, read stories or watch TV, and finally taking them to bed. I am an excellent cook, and I can cook according to specific needs, as I myself follow a healthy diet with no gluten and dairy. I would be delighted in helping children with their homework and preparing them for an upcoming exam, if this is required. I am a very active person and I don't mind doing any outdoor activities to keep children busy. I can also show teaching experience, teaching windsurfing to young children and teenagers. However, if children prefer to stay indoors, I would also find activities to keep them occupied indoors. I'm also willing to help out with any household chores, including tidying up children's rooms to keep homes neat and tidy.
