Meet Alex: A nanny and au pair in Lane Cove North, NSW

Hi, I’m ally. I’m a based in Australia with a background in social science and working with children, looking for a babysitting / live-in nanny role.

What I bring:

• Real experience with kids. My background in social science and working with children means I understand how to engage with them properly — meeting them where they’re at, not talking down to them.

• Patience and presence. Teaching Pilates means holding space, reading the room, and adjusting on the fly — same skills apply with kids.

• Calm, grounded energy. I’m not easily rattled, and kids tend to respond well to adults who are steady.

• Genuine warmth. I care about the small stuff — how someone’s actually doing, not just the surface.

• Self-aware and reflective. I take responsibility for my own stuff so I can show up properly for the people in my care.

• Reliable and direct. I do what I say I’ll do, and I communicate clearly.

I’d love to find a family who values warmth and reliability, and where I can be a real, trusted part of the household.
