Meet Julie: A nanny and babysitter in Moonee Ponds, VIC

Hi I’m Julie, 57 years who’s enthusiastic, active and cares deeply for babies and children of all ages. I enjoy helping Mum and Dad out when baby comes home and they get comfortable with a new little human. I’m a nurse and midwife, and a trained volunteer Doula for Birth for Human Kind supporting underprivileged Mums through their pregnancy and beyond, including birthing and pre/post natal help and encouragement and provide respite care for some ‘me-time’ or ‘our time’.

Children have such amazing imaginations and are such strong little lions. I saw this working at the Royal Melbourne Children’s Hospital as a Support Worker in the children’s cancer wards and also respite care for children with complex physical and mental health needs in their own home. The mental health of the parents is important. I found motherhood a bit tough during its early stages it doesn’t come easy to some women or families, but it can be made fun.

My two boys are now in their ‘20’s and are flying the coup. They are wonderful human beings. They are very talented in music, art and marketing. My husband is a psychologist and we have been married for 25 years. All my boys hit the surf as often as they can.

I would love the opportunity to meet you and your precious little one(s) and talk through your needs and how I may be able to help you and support you in any way. I am available for babysitting.
