Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi there, I'm Shelley, 37 year-old mother of two. Before having my own children, throughout my 20’s I nannied both casually and full-time while studying, working and living overseas. I held live-in nanny positions both in Melbourne and in Canada. I am confident and experienced in caring for multiple children at a time, of all ages from infants to teens. I also clean, cook (inclusive of allergies & dietary requirements), dog-walk, run errands and shopping for families. I have fantastic references from families here in Kilsyth and Mooroolbark. I love to cook healthy meals/snacks, role model outdoor & active play, dress-ups, music, arts and crafts and assist with homework. I am happy to do light house-work and drop-offs/pick-ups as required. As a mother myself, I have a thorough understanding of the daily activities and challenges families face, and my organisation, communication and multi-tasking skills are a great asset to my service. I look forward to hearing from you and chatting further, and of course meeting your little ones!
