23.01.2022 Hey guys, sorry for being a little MIA lately! I have still been babysitting my regular families and have also met a few new ones. Today, I’m hanging out with Lily - isn’t she an angel I hope everyone is keeping healthy, happy + well during these crazy times! If you need a little ‘me time’ my current best availability are Thursday, Friday and Saturday’s. I also do babysitting VOUCHERS if you know of someone who could do with a little rest. PM me if you’d like to tee this ...up! We can also organise bottles of wine, chocolate, cards, etc. Stay safe + well! Love always, Claudia x x

21.01.2022 - I S O L A T I O N - I D E A S - The next little while can seem quite daunting and overwhelming, but one day at a time we can get through this together! You might be a little apprehensive about the idea of self-isolation at the expense of your kids going crazy, and also you! Hopefully some of these ideas/suggestions will keep you and your family busy and entertained for hours x ... 1. Make some play doh (you can buy some or you can make it, it’s easy! The kids can choose what colour they like too by selecting a food dye colouring - recipe below). 2. Build a fort. 3. Do a puzzle. 4. Bake something a cake, a slice, cookies, etc. 5. Decorate some Marie biscuits using coloured icing and decorations (lollies, sprinkles, etc.) 6. Do some drawings. 7. Practice writing some letters and words. 8. Play some board games. 9. Do a kids science experiment, magic milk is a cool one but there’s heaps to choose from on YouTube or Pinterest! https://pin.it/2sogM32 10. Play some games outside: tag, hide and seek, giants treasure, egg and spoon race, three legged race. 11. Do some ‘outside painting’ on the backyard fence with some clean paint brushes and paint rollers and a bucket of water 12. Do some arts and crafts: stained glass window using contact and cellophane; something easter themed; glitter jars. 13. Make a stage and do a puppet show or concert using teddies, toys or dolls. 14. Plant some herbs or pot plants and watch them grow, to be really creative you could make a grass-head man https://pin.it/1TB0RWR 15. Gather some different patterned leaves and imprint them using paper and crayons; you can do this using coins too! 16. Read a book or ten. 17. Watch your favourite movie. 18. Camp in the backyard 19. Create an obstacle course. 20. Make a board game. [ PLAY DOUGH RECIPE: ] You will need: 1/2 cup salt 1 cup plain flour 2 tbs cream of tartar 1 cup water 1 tbs oil 3 drops food colouring (may need more or less) Method: 1. Mix all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan. 2. Stir over heat until pliable 3. Allow to cool and store in well-sealed bag or container at room temperature. Mums and dads, don’t forget a bit of YOU time too pamper yourself, do a workout, tinker with some stuff or build something, have a cold one!

08.01.2022 The relationship your babysitter has with your kids is just as important as the relationship they have with you, the parent/s I try to build individual relationships with each child and grow a playful, trusting and fun relationship with them. Some ways I do this is by playing games with them, drawing, puzzles, letting them use their imagination to role play with toys or outside, interact in their conversations, sing songs or do educational activities with them. It’s impor...tant you are fun and playful but also ‘adult-like’ and assertive when necessary by demonstrating a good example for them to learn from and by ensuring basic home rules/expectations are still employed. Every family and home is different, so it is a priority for me to make sure I am flexible in adjusting my care family to family. Stay happy and well my families x x

06.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW... that new families are eligible for a FREE first play date to meet you and your little one/s!? At Claudia’s Babysitting, we take the individual relationships with each child, parent and family unit with great care. Meeting your little one/s prior to independent sitting allows the child/ren and parent/s to start building a strong, trustworthy rapport and relationship! Comment below or PM me anytime for any inquiries or bookings Stay safe and well my familie...s, Claudia x x

05.01.2022 How QUICK do our little bubs grow out of the newborn stage!? I’m sure all of you mama’s & dad’s can relate when you say you wish you could freeze moments like these just to savour them that little bit longer - but at the same time you wish away the sleepless nights and are excited to see who they grow into! Any new mama’s or expecting mama’s need assistance or someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out - even if it’s just for a coffee ... Love, Claudia x x

04.01.2022 TO MY DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES I will NOT be taking on anymore new jobs/families until the health precautions have blown over. I love you all so dearly and for that reason I want to do everything that I can do to keep you guys safe. I don’t want you all to be fearful, but it is good to be a little extra vigilant and aware about our health in general. With COVID-19 heavily in the media and I’m sure on your minds, there are a few practical things you can be implementing t...o be proactive, but firstly, WHAT IS COVID-19? ‘Coronavirus or COVID-19, is an infectious disease caused by a new virus that had not been previously identified by humans. The virus causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever and in more severe cases pneumonia.’ Coronavirus is spread through CONTACT (with an infected person) and DROPLETS (coughing and sneezing). But what can you do? (the following information was published for those in quarantine but can be applied to daily life). Practice hand hygiene. According to World Health Organisation (WHO, 2020), we should perform hand hygiene frequently, particularly: after contact with respiratory secretions (saliva, sneezing, coughing, etc.) before eating after using the toilet. HAND HYGIENE includes either cleaning your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub. (Please refer to picture attached below for correct hand washing technique). Practice respiratory hygiene and etiquette by sneezing into your flexed elbow so as not to spread respiratory secretions all over your hands and then spread it. Avoid touching your face. Only wear a mask if you are caring for someone who is infected or if you are coughing and sneezing. There is NO evidence-based research to support the fact that masks protect healthy persons (WHO, 2020). Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as bedside tables, bedframes, and other bedroom furniture daily with regular household disinfectant containing a diluted bleach solution (1-part bleach to 99 parts water). For surfaces that do not tolerate bleach, 70% ethanol can be used; Clean and disinfect bathroom and toilet surfaces at least once daily with regular household disinfectant containing a diluted bleach solution (1-part bleach to 99 parts water); Clean clothes, bedclothes, bath and hand towels, etc., using regular laundry soap and water or machine wash at 6090 C with common laundry detergent and dry thoroughly. Stay positive and well my families, if there’s anything that I can help you with please msg me or my page, if any family or families need food or nappies or wipes, please contact me and we will see what options you have. We’re all in this together

03.01.2022 The time has come where I am beginning to take on more families and my calendar is quickly filling up! If you have a little one or little one's (or big one/s) who need a caring and enthusiastic sitter for a once-off occasion or regular days, please don't hesitate to contact me on the various platforms (phone call, message, email or private DM) when possible to ensure you don't miss out! Thank you for all of your continued support, positive feedback and years of growing toget...her! I look forward to continuing with my current families and meeting new ones in 2020. Love, Claudia x (Comprehensive experience from newborns up to young adolescents. All photos have sourced appropriate permission from parents or legal guardians prior).
