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

Hi, I’m a single 55 yo Mum with a grown son (who still loves having his Mum around to look after him) and have just returned to Australia after 2 years sailing and travelling around Europe.

I am a trained chef/caterer/nutritionist however I’d prefer not to go back into that stressful work life and am looking for a more balanced part time role where I can feel useful and keep busy! I was lucky enough to work with families in London, Munich and Montenegro where I got to hang out with the kids, prepare daily meals for the family (including making sue there were plenty of healthy snacks…..and treats!), food shopping, general organising and cleaning and basically picking up on what needed to be done to make everyone’s life easier.

I have worked for an anti human trafficking NGO in Vietnam for 5 years, where our focus is rescuing children who are victims of trafficking and being able to support them back to school and reunited with their families. I have also worked with kids programmes at OzHarvest here and in London and love being able to interest children in sustainability, their environment and cooking!

I have my current first aid qualifications up to date and am available immediately.

Would love to hear from you and see if I can make a positive difference in your family’s life,

V
