I am 17 years old and in my final year of secondary school. I am a responsible, thoughtful and caring person. I enjoy working with children. I am hard working, dedicated and a team player. I enjoy creating new experiences in life and with friends. I enjoy helping people and making others feel comfortable.
C Care supports individuals and families experiencing food insecurity and social isolation. I work as a volunteer preparing and packing different meals. This includes packing soup, cutting fruit and vegetables, and making and packing cookies and muffins.
I babysit for a few different families. The children range from age 3 months to 9 years old. I play different games with them, build Lego, and play outside with them. I give the children dinner and give the baby a bottle. I read them stories before bedtime and put them to sleep.
I work at the day camp center during the school holidays for children aged 7 to 12 years old. We do activities at the center, like baking, crafts, and sports. I set out the activities, supervise the children, and assist them when needed. We also go on excursions like trampoline places, water parks, and animal parks. I get assigned a group of 5 to 10 children for the day that I need to supervise and take care of. I prepare some of the lunches and snacks for the day and serve the food to the children. When children have fights with each other or are feeling upset, I help them resolve the issue and make suggestions on how to feel better.
I worked as a volunteer in Kinder Transition room for ages 2-3 years old. I bonded with the children while helping the teachers. At lunchtime, I helped the children wash their hands, open their lunchboxes, and clean up after lunch. I played games with the children outside and made conversations with them. At nap time I would help with toilet training or nappy changing, then help the children get into their bed and fall asleep.
I have completed a first-aid course.
I have a Working with Children Check- Volunteer.
