Babysitters in Yaldhurst

| I’ve just returned to New Zealand from a year au pairing in the UK. I looked after 3 school age children full time, preparing meals, helping with homework and taking them to activities. I have experience babysitting children from 1 year old.

| I have been babysitting my 2 brothers since I was 14, and now live alone with my youngest brother (18). We have 3 dogs and a kitten so I am used to being hands on. I studied 6 months as an early childhood teacher in the Elim childcare centre, to then move on to uni where I currently study to become a high school teacher. I believe the role as a teacher is to accommodate everything a child needs in terms of helping them grow and being an emotional/mental mentor. I want to be there to make sure the children have support inside and outside of school they need. Someone they can trust as well as share the fun side of life with. My method to keeping a child happy is just simply listening to them. I don't believe in smacking children and believe the best way to teach a child right from wrong is by simply sitting down alone with them and explaining why their actions were bad, I also love to praise a child for good behaviour with rewards such as stickers and x amount of stickers receive a certain reward from time to time. I look forward to hearing back from some of you and wish the rest a happy journey into nannying and babysitting.

| I'm currently working full time as a registered ECE teacher with under 2-year-old children in nursery. I am certificated in first aid too. I have been working in daycare for last 2 years, I have worked with children from newborn to age 6. I am a reliable, caring and flexible person. I value the connection and interaction with each child, I am good at following children's cues, meeting their needs. My daily tasks at work are interacting, playing with children, following their interest and lead, offering different activities to get them engaged, following children's routine, putting them to bed, preparing meals, feeding them, nappy changing and more. There will be different teaching focuses based on children's learning needs and development stages. Please feel free to flip me a message, I would be happy to help, talk about and meet your special little ones. I have reference if needed.

| Hi, this is Angie from Malaysia, 32 this year. I love kids as they are born to be naive and cute. I used to manage a tuition centre back in Malaysia, have experiences taking care and teaching kids from 6.5 to 12 (primary). Kids need extra attention with a lot of talk at all age, especially 10-12yo. I can teach swimming while outing to have fun with kids as I used to be an swimming instructor back home. I can also teach music (piano) for ppl at all ages. I can try to cook but mostly chinese style, or western food like pasta. Holding NZ driving license and have own car.

| Carer, 01/12/2018 to 13/04/19 This job allowed me to gain knowledge in working with complex needs people, in particular children. Within this role I worked directly with the a family, where I would attend their household every weekday and some weekends and help with day to day activities. For example, helping with school work, managing and maintaining a routine for the child and household duties like cleaning and preparing dinners. I also assisted in kindergarten and school pick-ups and drop offs.
