Hello Parents,
I have a genuine love of caring for babies, toddlers, pre-school & older children & I have excellent references from families I've helped for many years. I'm very experienced in caring for any number of children - including babies, twins & children with special needs. I've worked full time for many years as a SLSO (School Learning Support Officer) however as I'm easing into retirement I'm only doing casual days at local Public Schools now. I'm up to date with all mandatory training required to work for the NSW Education Dept eg "Child Protection", "Emergency Care", CPR & Anaphylaxis Training. I've had six covid vaccinations in total (two AstraZenica vaxes; three Pfizer boosters & a Moderna bivalent booster). I renewed my St John's First Aid certificate in July 2018 & my WWCC is current till 2026. I'm available weekends & some times during the week. I'm also happy 2do overnight stays & care for pets.
Anne/Mrs Cobbie :))

"This was the first time we left our 5.5month old with a sitter and Anne couldn't have been better for first time parents! She arrived 15mins early so we could show her around and provide instructions. Then without prompting she sent us a couple of updates during the evening and gave use a full recap via text after we got home. Would reccomend Anne and will book her again. Thanks Anne"From Vanessa - Dee Why
"Anne is the modern day Mary Poppins! She is so exceptional and engaging. My children didn’t even notice that I left for the day. She came with her bag of goodies and was semi tutoring as well with all her educational toys. My two year old son cried when she left because he wanted “more” of her so we will definitely be having Anne back regularly. Couldn’t recommend more highly. "From Julie Anne - Freshwater
"Anne was amazing, right from the start our daughter warmed to her and had a wonderful time. Her communication was fantastic, she messaged the day before to confirm and the morning of and then kept in contact throughout the time she looked after our daughter. She came prepared with a great bag of toys which were a hit. Will definitely use Anne again if she is available. "From Brooke - Allambie Heights

Although the baby was fussier than normal, Anne was incredibly patient and caring, and kept me updated while I was out, and she was even able to share some tips and advice to help soothe the baby. Absolute delight. "From Gabrielle - Freshwater
