Hi families!! My name is Dessa Sheeran. I am a first year psychology student, ballet dancer, and someone with a deep love and passion for caring for children. I have cared for a wide range of children of varying ages, personalities, temperaments, and individual needs over the last 3 years. My experience includes supporting children throughout different parts of their daily routines, from playtime and lunchtime to bedtime and medication management. I have also spent time teaching dance to young children, which has strengthened my ability to communicate instructions clearly, maintain children’s attention, and create a fun and encouraging environment. This experience has taught me to be patient and adaptable, particularly when working with children who have different learning styles, confidence levels, and personalities. I am comfortable adapting my approach to suit each child, whether they require active engagement and supervision, assistance with routines, or additional patience and reassurance. Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication, organisation, responsibility, and problem-solving skills while creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I currently hold a drivers license, car and valid WWWC. I am also happy to support in light cooking and cleaning whilst on the job. If you’d like references or more info don't hesitate to contact me!!

Reference by Emmalee “Absolutely worth her weight in gold! Sez is reliable, loyal and passionate about the care of little ones. She took the best of care of our baby girl age 13 months with loads play and educational trips out. There was no doubt in our minds that our child was her number one focus. Excellent communication and highly educated - we could not recommend Sez highly enough! We were so lucky to have found a wonderful nanny straight away (have heard a few horror stories). While our little one is heading off to conventional child care for now, we will definitely still book Sez on the weekends and would love to have her back again for our next little one prior to heading off to childcare. “ I have years of experience , kind and loving nature with high tolerance and peaceful demeanour .
