My kids enjoyed their time with her. I would highly recommend. "From Sarah - Waterloo

Special Needs Experience
I deal with children on a daily basis with ADHD, Autism, Behavioural/Learning disabilities.
Childcare Experience
I’ve had 18 yrs raising my 3, and many hours helping other families. I adore children, hence I work as a qualified teachers aide in a local Catholic primary school from 9 - 1, so I’m free from then on.
Tutoring Experience
I am a qualified Teachers Aide / Learning Support Teacher, I absolutely love my job and I’ve been doing it for well over 10 years now! I love educating children and seeing them learn and grow. I am up to date with all the latest carriculum.II can assist children with reading, writing, literacy and numeracy skills, handwriting and grammar, and school readiness preparation. If you feel your child missed out on learning the basics during Covid lockdown home learning then I can help with that also. Feel free to reach out, I am available Mon, Tues & Wed from 3pm for a 50 minute tutoring session, I then report back to you all that was accomplished during the session, which topics need more work and any set homework tasks I may give. I also supply all materials.
