Hi parents. My name is Shannon and I have recently returned from Australia where I completed my Masters in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney (NSW). I am looking for a nanny position (between 20 and 30 hours per week) in the Hamilton area, and would love to be considered for your child-minding needs.
Whilst studying in Sydney, I was a nanny for a lovely family with a two-year-old daughter. My responsibilities included, but were not limited to, child-minding, arts and crafts, light cleaning, snack preparation, as well as midday nap and nighttime sleep preparations such as bathing, story reading/telling, and bottle-feeding.
Moreover, from 2012-2013, I was a babysitter for a newly arrived family from Croatia. The two boys were 3 and 7 years of age, and spoke little English. My responsibilities included, but were not limited to, making nutritious Vegan breakfast(s), lunch(s), and dinner(s), helping the older boy with his homework, light housework (laundry etc. ), arts and crafts, playing outdoor (and indoor) activities, and helping the boys with their English by creating educational language games.
Looking for: Full-time (or 20-30 hours per week)
