Aside from being a housewife and parent to my two boys (aged 10 and 13), I do a lot of volunteer work at their school. I　finished Certificate IV in School Based Education Support. However, I do still have some spare time while my kids are at school, and I would love to spend it helping other mums who are having a hard time. I am very caring, patient, friendly and energetic. I don't like the idea of kids using screens, especially when they are at a young age, and so I've learned to be very creative and flexible when playing with kids. I also love cooking and housework and I am very good at them!

Hi, I’m Amber! I recently left full-time work in health and international development to focus on my passion for creative writing and young adult literature, which I’m now studying full-time. Babysitting is a natural fit alongside my studies—I love spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun space where they feel comfortable and happy.

At the moment, I’m looking for casual work during my uni holidays (mid-October through to mid-February 2026), as I already have a family I help with part-time during the school term. I’m happy to help with light tidying up and cleaning—like putting away toys, washing dishes, or wiping surfaces—but I don’t do extensive house cleaning.
