Polly King
Callaghan,NSW
Summary
I moved to Newcastle at the beginning of 2025 to begin university at the University of Newcastle. I have gained responsibility by living on my own and moving through early adulthood independently. Through my long experience in babysitting and short experience in assisting early educators, I am a reliable carer with hands-on experience monitoring the well-being and safety of children. I have my Working With Children Check and I have my First Aid and Anaphylaxis course booked for 11/09/2025.
