Meet Tanya: A babysitter in Brighton, VIC

Hi Families,

My name is Tanya, and I am 41 years old from Thailand. I moved to New Zealand in 2000 and have been living in Melbourne since 2009.

At the moment, I am seeking casual Nanny/ Housekeeping opportunities because I have decided to study realestate part-time.

Recently, I have been employed as a full-time nanny/houskeeper in a private residence. However, I have decided to reduce my working days, which no longer align with their needs.

Household Management:

- Assisting families with with errands if needed.

- Helping with laundry, dishes, and meal preparation.

- Maintaining a clean and organised home environment.

- Restocking baby essentials (nappies and wipes) and organising play areas.

With over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, I bring a deep understanding of child development, safety, and engaging learning environments into in-home care. I have worked with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, tailoring my approach to support their individual needs.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Comprehensive Childcare: Skilled in providing nurturing, structured, and developmentally appropriate care

• Educational Engagement: Ability to create play-based learning experiences, supporting cognitive, social, and emotional development.

• Behavioural Guidance: Experience in managing routines, setting boundaries, and encouraging positive behaviours.

How This Applies to Home Care:

In a home setting, I use my background in early childhood education to:

• Establish routines that promote security and stability for children.

• Encourage language development, motor skills, and creativity through play and structured activities.

• Ensure a safe and nurturing space by maintaining hygiene, supervision, and emotional support.

• Communicate effectively with parents about their child’s progress and any concerns.
