Meet Merlyn: A nanny and babysitter in Heidelberg Heights, VIC

Hello there!

My name is Merlyn, and I am a qualified Early Childhood Educator with five years of experience. I currently work casually at a childcare centre in Kew and completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care at Box Hill Institute in 2021.

I have cared for children from 6 months through to 12 years of age, supporting families with everything from playtime and fun activities to bedtime routines, homework, and general care. My background in early childhood education has given me strong skills in adapting to each child’s individual needs while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and supported.

Families often describe me as patient, reliable, and easygoing. I genuinely love working with children and feel privileged to be part of their learning and growth.

I am available full-time, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and can be flexible to suit your family’s needs, even while working casually at a childcare centre on Mondays and Tuesdays. I particularly enjoy part-time roles with longer hours, as this allows me to build stronger connections with children and provide consistent support for families.

If you are looking for a caring, dependable babysitter to support your family, I’d love to connect. While I don’t have parent references available, I am happy to provide professional references!
