My name is Violet, I am 22 years old and I am a student studying at the University of Queensland. I have recently moved from Perth to Brisbane and I am looking for some casual babysitting work. I have had a lot of experience working with children through 5 years of babysitting kids aged 6 months to 12 years old and also through 5 years of work as a swim instructor doing a mixture of learn to swim teaching with children aged 3-12 and also baby teaching with babies and toddlers aged 6 weeks to 3 years. I also have my autism swim qualification and I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum and also with other special needs. On top of this, I have spent some time over the last few years casually volunteering at Claremont Therapeutic Riding Center and Rocky Bay in Perth (before moving to Queensland), meaning that I am confident working with children with special needs. I currently hold my CPR certificate, national police clearance and Working With Children's Check (Blue Card) and I am happy to provide proof if necessary. I have my full driver's licence and my own reliable car so I am able to drop of and pick up from school and activities. I have always loved working with children and I hope that I can be of help to you.
I work as a swim teacher and I am qualified as an autism instructor so I have worked with children who have autism and other special needs including hearing difficulties and developmental delays.
I have been looking after children for 6 years, mainly after school and night care. I have also had before-school jobs where I get the children up, dressed, make breakfast and drive/walk them to school. Along with my 3.5 years of work at Kirby Swim, I have had a lot of experience with children of all ages and I am very confident.
