From July this year, I have been a member of the Edmund Rice Camps. These camps operate for a week during the holiday time. It involves being a 'buddy' to one child, often disabled, from a disadvantaged background for the week. I attempt to connect with them (become like a 'sister'), become involved in any activities they like, and generally try to get them to relax and have fun. The training involved in this involves a course in learning how to behave around and look after the children.
I have also participated in the Eddie’s van, involved in preparing breakfast for the homeless around the Brisbane area as well as becoming part of their (limited) social network and participated at the OzCare Centre, being involved in serving dinner to the homeless and unemployed.
September last year I travelled to South Africa to teach students of a middle-high school age on computer skills (school organised program). Most had never seen a computer before and so I had the task of teaching them how to use it as well as operate word, PowerPoint, excel, and a typing program. I received two students per lesson, each lesson lasting about 1.5 hours, while lessons went on for the duration of the school day. Lunch and morning tea was spent communicating with them and participating in any activities, e.g. soccer, dancing. The afternoons were spent at a nearby orphanage of primary school aged children helping them with homework and playing any games.

Employment

History

Here are the current jobs I have been participating in.

Others, which do not apply to the Governess position at all, include part-time work at Nando’s and junk mail distribution.

Babysitting – 2006 to present

Over the last few years I have been taking babysitting jobs around the Brisbane area. This ranged from babysitting on holidays/weekends (nights, whole day, part day), after school (afternoons/nights). I would have the task of helping them with homework, helping with any household tasks etc., getting them organised for showers/bed, getting them to bed on time, organising and serving their meals, taking them out (on a whole/part day time) to the museum/art gallery/park/video store, supervising/participating in their play, etc.

May 2008 to present - Coles Myer

I have worked for my local Coles Supermarket in Presentation during the past 7 months. This involves interacting with and dealing with customers, making sure all the stock is arranged nicely on the correct shelf and easy to reach, cleaning up any stock spills in the aisles.

Background Information

I was born in Melbourne but moved to Brisbane at the age of 6 weeks when my parents returned to their home city. All of my childhood memories are of our house in the multicultural inner city suburb of West End. I have grown up with an appreciation of many aspects of Australian life. I come from a very large extended family on both sides, with relatives in most states of Australia. I have two brothers (20 yrs, 6 yrs) and one sister (14 yrs). When growing up, every holiday was spent going camping in some remote areas of Australia, or to a farm stay which I loved. My hobbies include reading, music, singing, dancing and sports.

I have also been lucky enough to travel overseas to Turkey, South Africa and USA to experience life in other countries and cultures.

Three of my four grandparents have roots in regional Australia. My mother’s parents met and married in Broken Hill. My father’s father was from a farming family on the Darling Downs.

All of this has given me a great appreciation of what is it to be Australian, and how lucky we are to live in this country. I would love nothing more than to experience for myself life in the remote parts.

I have very little skills when it comes to working on a farm / cattle station but am extremely willing to learn anything and everything that is involved with living in the Australia rural areas, helping out with all kinds of jobs, no matter what it takes. I am interested in a future of being involved in the rural areas in some way and so would like some experience.

I love children. Gaining a younger brother at 11 years old has helped me to realise my admiration of children and understand them to a much greater degree. I love to find out how their unique brain works and helping them to use it so that they may learn and grow into a brighter, stronger person.

I am very much a child at heart, able to easily sympathise with and play with younger children as if I was one of them except for my maturity and responsibility.

I am a responsible, fun, self-motivated, optimistic, organised and loving young woman who thinks that the world is the limit.

If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to email or call me.

Background Information

I come from Tasmania. I moved to Queensland in January to work as an au pair and will have been here for a year in December. I am the youngest of my family. I have one brother and one sister. I’m interested in reading, dance and music. I would like to live in a small town in the Outback for 6 months-year. If you live in a small town then I would like to work for a year. I like animals. It would be nice to see other animals on the property. My family used to have chickens which I liked. I got to raise a little orphan chicken, and it was sooo cute!! :)

I'm interested in learning to ride a horse if you have one on your property and I can work in a roadhouse too.

I don’t want to lie to your kids about Santa or anything else. I don’t like the fact that I worked as an Elf. I need to work for a family that’s okay with that. I must have one day off in 7 as well.

If it sounds good then please give me an email asap..
