Hello! I am Elisa. I am 18 and study commerce and international relations at Macquarie university. I love learning new things and experiencing new cultures. I love interacting with people of all ages, but i find children heart-warming and unique to interact with. I am a smart young girl and can help your children in every aspect of life.
I am a very creative and imaginative girl, always laughing and smiling. I love to play with kids and make up games. My favourite thing to do with children is read stories. I also place a high value on nutrition and being active! Teaching and learning are my passion.
Child Care Experience:
I have had experience in taking care of a girl my family fosters during the holidays. We have looked after her since she was about 2 years old. She is now 13 and it has been an amazing experience to see her grow and develop.
Through-out high school I studied Community and Family studies learning about the development and care for children from before they are born to when they are an adult. In addition during this course I learnt to care for the disabled and the elderly. I achieved a score of 90% for this course.
I voluntarily care for family and friends children. Ages I have cared for range between 0 to 7. However, I have never accepted money in return for my service to friends and family because looking after children is a joy to me.
