Kathleen P.

Childcare Qualified with 20 years experience in the Childcare Industry. Care available in your home or mine. Please see below for more info. My name is Kathleen, I am 41yrs old, and a mum to 2 beautiful daughters. I have worked with children of all ages since I was 16. I hold many Child Care Qualifications with one of those being a Diploma in Children's Services. My vast experience has led me to positions in Long Day Care, Family Day Care, Child Care Management roles, in home care Nanny, Live-In Nanny, Live-Out Nanny, Recruitment Consultant in Early Childhood and a Babysitter. I hold all current qualifications including First Aid, Working with Children Check, Police Check, Asthma & Anaphylaxis. I also have a drivers license and reliable car. Living in Patterson Lakes, local to parks and indoor play center's, care is available in my home also. With my vast range of recourses and activities for all age groups, I can provide developmentally appropriate play spaces in my home. Please feel free to get in touch if you require care during the day, and are happy to drop off and pick up. A visit prior with your child is essential. I have always known that any career that I chose would involve children. Being a Nanny allows me to not only be surrounded by children but to use my skills and experience to help develop into happy and healthy kids. My family and friends have always called me the baby whisperer and I think that is because children respond instinctively to my nurturing and positive energy. I have found over the years that using my upbeat and outgoing personality makes it possible to get children to complete tasks that they may not want to do or would resist if it is presented to them in a more stern fashion. And while being fun and a cheerleader for my kids is a big part of my job it is equally important that i be calm, reassuring and loving when a child needs me to be. My ability to provide the security and feeling of safety for children is perhaps one of my greatest strengths. I have an ability to establish emotional connections with people very quickly which has allowed me to not only to determine the emotional needs of the children I care for but also helps me be in tune with the needs of the family and offer assistance or suggestions when appropriate. To me this is what being a Nanny is all about. I look forward to meeting your little ones.
