Description

Kia Ora from New Zealand! My name is Anna and I live in vibrant Wellington, New Zealand!

This year, I was lucky enough to get my first taste of working abroad at a summer camp in the USA. It was such an honour to meet and serve such loving, energetic, creative, funny, and strong-willed kids - in their words, we will always be "BFF besties!" I love working with kids and I have plenty of experience in this area, it brings me so much joy. I want to know that the next generation is growing up understanding love, kindness, and empathy. It's up to us to make this a reality!

I have plenty of energy to match even your most active children, meaning you can relax knowing that they are having an absolute blast running around and playing games with me! I love teaching kids games, songs, dances, crafts, magic tricks, sports, anything they could ever want to learn! I have a lot of different interests so no matter what your kid is into, I'll be happy to learn all about it with them!

Apart from childcare, I'm happy to help you out with cleaning, cooking, running errands, anything to make your life easier! I have plenty of experience in customer service, and I thrive in any job where I get to interact and connect with customers. I am hardworking and positive, and I'm willing to learn anything you're willing to teach. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

More details about my language interests
I am happy to teach English! I have experience teaching English to teenagers - the high school I worked at served many immigrant and refugee families who didn't know any English. I'm learning Spanish at the moment and I'd love to learn Arabic too!

WORKING WITH KIDS
I have plenty of experience caring for and teaching kids of all ages. I have worked as a swimming teacher, singing teacher, summer camp counselor, birthday party entertainer, babysitter, and a teacher aide for kids with learning difficulties. I've worked with babies through to teens, although I have the most experience with toddlers, preschoolers and early school-age children.

PET CARE
I love animals! My family in New Zealand has a dog called Rodger, and many of our extended family also have dogs. I'm happy to help take care of your pets - I've looked after dogs, guinea pigs, and fish in my lifetime!

COOKING/CLEANING/GENERAL ERRANDS
I'm hardworking and positive, and I'm happy to take some weight off your shoulders by doing general maintenance around the house!

FIRST AID
I have experience as a lifeguard, which of course required me to learn first aid, and I have passed two NZQA approved first aid courses.
