I am an eldest daughter of eight children so have had experience with child care from a young age. I grew up in a small town in Far north Queensland. I am an Austswim certified swimming instructor and have spent three years teaching swimming lessons to children from the age of four months up to 15 years. I am happy to include swimming lessons as part of my service. I have spent six months caring for a four month old and a three year old three days a week. I have all the DCSI clearances including working with children and also a current first aid and CPR certificate. Last year I developed a program called Kids academy which looked after children while their parents spent the day scuba diving. Kids academy included a swimming lesson, beach and pool games, arts and crafts and ocean education. I enjoy exploring, gardening, arts and crafts and generally being outside and am excited to share these hobbies with your children.
