Meet Alice: A nanny and babysitter in Brunswick, VIC

Hi families! My name is Alice and I'm 22 years old. I am currently studying at the University of Melbourne doing my Honours (Science) - I am working with the Animal Welfare Science Centre looking into zookeeper-meerkat interactions within the Melbourne Zoo!

I have experience with children from 18 months to 12 years, with my most recent family being three children (6, 8 and 12). I absolutely adored looking after them, and loved watching them grow and develop over our time together. For this family, I was responsible for school pick ups, taking the kids to after school sports, preparing their dinner and light housework. On the days we had no extra curricular activities, we enjoyed spending quality time together through crafting/art, exploring in the park with their dog, playing games outside, teaching board games and baking together. It was such a pleasure to help create a nurturing environment for them to grow and learn, and I hope to be able to do the same for a new family! Alongside regular nannying, I have also done ad-hoc babysitting for children from 18 months to 10 years.

I'm an animal lover and thoroughly enjoy cooking/baking and art - these are some of my favourite activities to do with the children I care for as it provides an opportunity for us to bond over a shared interest. Being a nanny is by far the most rewarding job I have had, and I look forward to providing a positive and nurturing environment for the children and families I work with!
