Meet Olivia: A nanny in Coburg, VIC

Hi my name is Olivia :)

I have been travelling Europe for the past 7 months and get back on the 12th of February and I am now seeking some more employment involving working with children.

My main expereince besides little gigs here and there was:

Previously to my travels a looked after a gorgeous boy for just short of a year who turned 2 while I was looking after him. I really enjoyed this and created a lovely bond but unfortunately his family moved to Perth. The hours were 8-6pm and I am looking for something similar.

Prior to that I nannied casually for a 2 and a half year old boy who I took to the pools often (this job was for a few months).

Another family of two girls; a 6 month year old and 4 year old who needed my help for 3 months while their old helper was away.

A german family who ive made a good relationship with and nannied for them on two different occasions (a few months stint each time) who stay in Melbourne for a but to visit family. (They were 6 months and 2 years old the first time and 2 and a half and 4 the following)

Before some travels I did in 2022 I looked after a young girl around one years old for 6 months which was also long houred days.

Those two gigs were under an angency called The Reinforcement nannying agency. Which no longer runs.

I have been a children's swimming teacher for Elite Swimming where I dealt with a wide range of ages typically (2-13 years old) in group and private situations.

I have also done casual baby sitting for 6+ years for local families where I first gained experience with kids varying ages.

I am the second oldest out of four girls and therefore I am very family orientated and have grown up in a household surrounded by other kids which has taught me a lot of valuable skills such as communication and patience.

I am currently a paused uni student who was studying a bachelor of science at Monash prior to my travels. I have taken intermission from this as im unsure if its still what i would like to study.

I am a very caring, energetic, friendly person who is a reliable, confident, flexible worker.

I believe I have a nurturing nature and genuinely love being around and caring for kids. I love being able to watch a child I look after flourish and development into their own unique character. I also am more than happy to help out with cleaning up around the house, preparing meals, bathing etc.

A bit about me:

I love playing sports (netball and football), being in nature, cooking, listening to music, leading an active lifestyle as well as partaking in spontaneous activities with my friends and always trying and learning new things!

I am more than happy to give anymore information required by potential employers and provide parent references.

I recently refreshed my first aid, I have a car and have a WWCC.
