Hi Families! ๐ฉท
My name is Willow, Iโm an 19 year-old nanny based in Belgrave South and Iโm currently looking to take on a beautiful new family for either part-time, casual or ongoing care throughout the week ๐ธ
Iโve been nannying and babysitting for over 2 years now and have experience with children ranging from newborns right through to around 8 years old. Over the past year Iโve been caring for a family with three children aged 4, 5 and 7, and before that I cared for two little boys from the time one was only a newborn ๐ฅน Being able to grow with families and become someone their children feel safe, excited and comfortable around is honestly the most rewarding thing ever to me.
I know Iโm young, but I truly think thatโs one of the reasons kids connect with me so naturally ๐ค I bring a really fun, energetic and comforting โbig sisterโ kind of presence into a home while still being responsible, calm and nurturing when needed. I love getting involved in all the little things kids enjoy โ whether thatโs dancing in the kitchen, building cubby houses, playground adventures, baking, crafts, movie nights or just sitting on the floor playing for hours ๐ซถ๐ผ
I also really understand that children have huge emotions in tiny little bodies. Iโve sat through the toddler meltdowns over the wrong coloured cup, the overtired tears, the big feelings after school and the moments where they simply just need patience, comfort and someone safe beside them. I never believe in making children feel silly for their emotions and always try to approach situations with calmness, understanding and reassurance ๐ฟ
Iโm very confident with all day-to-day routines including school pick-ups/drop-offs, bedtime routines, baths, dinner prep, bottles, nappy changes, homework help and keeping little ones entertained in ways that are fun but still supportive for their development โจ
Iโm also very reliable, organised and happy to help wherever I can around the house to make life easier for parents โ whether thatโs tidying up after the kids, preparing meals, folding washing or helping keep routines running smoothly ๐ค
I have my own reliable car (brand new MG SUV), am confident transporting children and am happy to travel for the right family. I can also provide references from previous families upon request ๐ฅฐ
If I sound like someone who could be a lovely fit for your family I would absolutely love to chat further! Please feel free to send me a message anytime ๐
