I am a trained and qualified primary school teacher from New Zealand with two and a half years experience teaching Year 2-3. My partner and I have recently moved to Sydney and I am doing some casual teaching work during term time but keen for more childcare/nanny/household help full time during the holidays and when appropriate in the evenings as a babysitter. Before becoming a teacher I had a year as a live in Au pair for a family of three, aged 8, 10 and 12. I held many responsibilities including cooking dinners, pick-ups and drop-offs, homework help, practising sports with the kids, walking the dog as well as a range of household jobs for the mother. I believe I communicate well and have positive relationships with children to ensure they are looked after, feel safe and have fun.
