Belle is an enthusiastic and experienced childcare provider with a background caring for children of all ages, from babies through to teenagers. She grew up on a farm in rural Australia, where she regularly babysat for nearby families, often taking sole responsibility in isolated settings. This helped her develop strong independence, confidence, and problem-solving skills from an early age.

 

She has worked long-term with families, including caring for siblings aged 1.5 and 5, where she managed daily routines, planned age-appropriate activities, and ensured a safe, engaging environment while parents worked full time. She also has experience supporting older children, having cared for an 8- and 10-year-old over an extended period, helping with creative play, learning new skills, and navigating emotional challenges.

 

Belle loves the outdoors and enjoys sharing this passion with children, whether through nature walks, exploration, or simple outdoor play. Growing up and working in farm environments has made her highly adaptable, calm under pressure, and comfortable handling unexpected situations.

"We run a contract broad acre farming business and large animal Ambulatory Veterinary Service. Belle was

employed as a farm hand and general assistant to help with the general everyday needs of our

businesses. Her roles were very broad, extending from taking care of an 8-year-old girl and 10-year-old

Autistic Boy, cooking, cleaning, shifting farming machinery about, veterinary nursing, renovating old

wooden floors, painting, weed control, taking care of animals, and gardening, to name a few.

​

Belle was an exceptional employee who was always happy to take on any task I gave her. She is always

smiling and full of enthusiasm for whatever she is doing. We worked side by side on several projects

which were hot dusty and not much fun. Never did Belle's enthusiasm falter.

​

Belle worked almost entirely unsupervised during her time with us, usually I would text her a list of

things I needed done and she would sort it out and keep herself otherwise busy with everyday chores. I

entrusted her with all my possessions. She is of the highest integrity. A smart, funny, friendly young

woman who is great fun to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her as an employee. I believe

she will be successful in any enterprise she chooses to take on."​
