Summary
I am a kind and considerate babysitter with great recommendations earned by providing individualized care. I have led exciting and safe activities while setting examples for appropriate social behaviour and engaged with children about personal interests to build relationships and trust. Considered hardworking and reliable with great interpersonal skills. Attentive nanny with background caring for multiple children simultaneously, from toddlers through school aged. Positive role model focused on supporting development and teaching new skills. Certified in first aid and CPR with dedication to creating safe, inclusive and engaging learning environments for all children.
As an athlete I have consistently mentored younger athletes, supporting their training and the coaches, leading by example and instruction, upholding the values of the club and showcasing a strong work ethic.
My sport has taught me discipline and personal responsibility, as well as how to be a team player. These skills have extended beyond my sport to leadership roles in school, participation in rowing, music, drama and debating programs within my school. I am recognised for being an engaged and enthusiastic member of my sporting, school and work environments, displaying positive work ethics, adaptability and reliability.
