Over 20 years experience in Baby sitting. Mother of 4 grown up children, 2 girls and 2 boys, 9 grandchildren 6 boys, 3 girls.
Have experience in nightly sits, overnight sits, weekend sits and even lived in whilst parents attended a conference in the US. This was for a week and children were taken to music lessons, ballet, gymnastics. Dropped off at school and picked up after. All meals cooked. Normally it is a babysit whilst parents have a night out. Meeting the parents and understanding the guidelines have proven successful. Will text parents to let them know the children are settled. I play games, take craft along with me which the children love. I read stories and have them read to me as well. I enjoy this work and appreciate being trusted with your most precious children.

What parents love about me
They love that I can easily take over and they can go out and relax and enjoy their evening as I have gone through any questions with them. Sometimes they prepare and leave me a list with of course all contact numbers.
What kids love about me
They love how I can relate with them and play games and watch them do their projects or craft or play their music. I can also tell them certain stories which keep them entertained. I like to read to them also but a lot of the time they like to read their favourite books to me.
What I love about this work
I enjoy making lasting friendships with the family and children. Sometimes when I am shopping at Woolworths or Office Works or Bunnings a child will call out to me Hello Nanna Jill as one family calls or just come up to me in the IGL store or the Library or Chemist or on the street.
