| I've been babysitting since I was a teenager and have extensive experience with every age group from newborn to 16 year olds. I earnt a Certificate in Nanny and Governessing from the Australian Early Childhood College in 1995 and worked as a Nanny for 2 years when I moved to Toowoomba. I was a stay at home mum for 10 years with my two children who are now in high school. During that time I ran a playgroup for 2 years and my own scrapbooking business. Once they were both in school I worked as a Teacher Aide for 6 years. In 2023/24 I worked in a childcare centre as an Educator while studying for a Cert 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care through TAFE. Currently I'm a Nanny during school hours so can only do occasional evening or weekend jobs. I'm punctual, have a reliable car and excellent driving record.
