Learn to swim coach, mornings and Sundays
About Camila
I teach learn to swim at Leichhardt pool. About 40 kids a week, mostly 3 to 8 year olds, and I've been coaching seven years. Before that I nannied for a family in Santiago for two years, twin boys, from when they were one until they started school.
So I'm very used to small children who are tired, cold and cross. Bath time holds no fear for me.
I'm strict about water. If your place has a pool, or you want me to take them to one, I'll tell you exactly what I'm comfortable with and I won't be talked past it. Everything else I'm relaxed about.
Spanish and English. Happy to speak Spanish at your place if that's useful, or not at all, whatever suits you.
Weekday mornings up to about 2 are free because I coach from 3:30. Sundays are open. Saturday mornings I'm on the pool deck and always will be.
First aid, CPR and a pool lifeguard certificate, all current, plus my WWCC. I drive, and my car still has the anchor points in it from a previous family.
Speaks English and Spanish.

Disability support worker, six years experience
I'm a disability support worker and I've been doing it for six years. I'm patient, reliable and I turn up when I say I will. I've supported kids with autism and ADHD in their own homes, so additional needs are no problem at all. I don't drive, I'm on the bus, so somewhere near the 440 route suits me best.

I'll get on the floor and build the thing with them
Design student at UTS, 22. I've been babysitting since high school, mostly for family friends around Glebe and Annandale. I'm the one who will actually sit on the floor and build the thing rather than watch from the couch. Portuguese speaker (Mum's Brazilian) if that's handy for you. Weeknights and Sunday afternoons are best for me.

Psych student, calm when it gets loud
I'm 21 and I'm in third year psychology at UNSW. I've been sitting for the same two families in Camperdown since I was 17, which probably tells you more than anything else I could put in here. One has a boy who is 6 now and has ADHD. The other has twin girls who were 18 months when I started and are 4 now. So I've done the very loud end and the very tired end of this. I'm calm when it gets loud. I
