Hi there! I’m a dedicated and nurturing early childhood professional with many years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes working in child care centres, schools, private homes, and I’m currently working casually at Tweddle Early Parenting Centre. I’ve also had the joy of helping raise my nieces and nephews—now all grown up—which is a big part of why I truly miss being around babies and young children. I bring a calm, positive, and reliable presence into every home I work in. I genuinely enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and develop into their own unique selves.

I’m confident with bedtime routines, including bath time, story time, and settling children for sleep with consistency and care. I’m also happy to help with simple, healthy meal prep and snacks to keep little ones well-fed and happy throughout the day or evening. Whether you're looking for occasional care or more regular support, I’d love to chat further and can meet in person to see if I’m the right fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Im Sahasra, 19, and a second-year business student at RMIT! I have always been around kids. I feel they make such a special difference in our lives, and I am looking forward to the time that I will be able to have little ones of my own! I have cared for children from family and friends, and I have also volunteered some time in my high school kinder to Year 1, helping them in class activities, talking with them, and assisting them when needed. It was a super rewarding time and allowed me to understand more about each child as a person and how they are in various situations. Even during family or friends' parties and events, I would often just be in the corner taking care of children because that's the part I enjoy, whether they're quiet or wiggling around, I will still be able to manage. I will be more than happy to help look after your little ones, and provide updates and adjust to any preferences.
