Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of caring for children across a wide range of ages and stages, which has given me a deep, practical understanding of child development, and allow me to bring both enthusiasm and confidence to every family I work with. My background spans both formal nannying roles and regular babysitting arrangements. Throughout my years of experience, I have supported children with a wide variety of needs and personalities. I have managed many varying tasks including homework help, extracurricular pickups, meal preparation, changing nappies/infancy care and house organisation. I take a warm, respectful, and consistent approach to childcare. I communicate openly and regularly with parents, providing updates throughout the day and flagging anything of note promptly and honestly. I am currently employed as a nanny, and am seeking further work within this field as I genuinely love building relationships with young children and helping them to develop and grow. I am currently seeking a full-time position (very flexible) for a one-month period, from the 15th of June through to the 15th of July, and am flexible to support from after this date, dependent on my university timetable. I am fully committed and available throughout this time.

Every child is unique and an asset to the world. I strongly believe younger years of a child is very important to develop his or her personality. They need to be taken care of gently, talked nicely and raise them carefully. I'm cheerful and being a lecturer has given me immense skills to deal with children. If you think i could be the right match lets have a conversation.

I'm an experienced, kind, reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable child carer. I can quickly form trusting relationships with children and will engage in play with them on subjects they enjoy. I will encourage children to express their feelings and help them feel secure while keeping them safe. I'm happy to do those little jobs around the house that need done and am competent at preparing and serving children's food, changing nappies, bottle feeding and sleep routines. If required I am able to work as a NDIS approved nanny via an agency.
