Hi, I’m Sophie, a primary school teaching assistant from the UK 🇬🇧 I’ve recently moved to Perth, working as a live in nanny and am looking to do some babysitting along side my part time position. I’m based in Redcliffe but have access to a car and am happy to travel.
Here’s a little bit about me:
* I’m a trained Forest School leader and love spending time outdoors walking, hiking, running and swimming * I have up to date first aid training (including paediatric first aid) * UK full DBS check * WWCC * Psychology degree specialising in child development * 8 years experience working with children ages 2-12 y/o in various roles - dance teaching assistant, disability youth/play worker, nanny and primary school teaching assistant * 5 years experience as a professional pet sitter and dog walker so I’d be more than happy to help out with looking after pets as well * UK drivers licence and access to a car
I currently have weekends and most evenings free. Do get in touch if I can be of any help to you and your family 😊

What parents love about me
Children's wellbeing is at the heart of everything I do, I always ensure the children I care for are both happy and healthy and believe this is the most important job when caring for children. I am also a very empathetic person and admire parents for all the work they do when raising children alongside busy work and social lives, therefore I try to help parents in whatever way I can, be that tidying up after the children, cooking meals, or anything else that I see needs doing. I am respectful of people’s homes and boundaries and always ensure that I am on time for work.
What kids love about me
I love spending time outdoors and am therefore always happy to take kids out to the park, the beach, or for a nice walk. I also love engaging in imaginative play, crafts, baking and both encourage and support children’s independence/autonomy from an early age.
What I love about this work
Children never fail to make me laugh with the funny things they come out with!
