Hi! I’m Louisa I’m 20 years old and have been babysitting for 5 years and nannying for 3. I’ve looked after children aged 1 week to 13 years and am comfortable with anything in between! I love working with children and getting to know each little personality. I am a playful, spirited person so I adore the fun-loving and honest nature of all ages.
I have regularly nannied for 4 families over the past 2 years, working primarily with children aged 1-9. My last main nannying job consisted of 9-hour long days with a 1 ½-year-old and 4-year-old, where my role was preparing all meals, cleaning the house, changing nappies, taking the children out for activities, and following sleep, bottles, and screen-time schedules. I also currently work irregularly with a family of 5 (9-month-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old) where I work alongside the mother caring, bathing, feeding, cleaning, cooking, tidying, and entertaining for all 3 little ones throughout the day.
I have volunteered in kindergartens before working with children aged 3-5 specifically playing and teaching guitar/ song, as music is an interest of mine. I’ve also volunteered at my dance school and primary school teaching dance to children aged 3-13 which I love!
I have some experience teaching maths and English to primary school children on trips to the Fijian highlands and Cambodia through my schooling at St Catherine’s Toorak.
I come from a big family with 26 cousins, so since a young age, I’ve been looking after younger children finding ways to entertain them and keep busy as well as just learning to be comfortable in chaotic and busy environments!
I love caring for children and nurturing their development at all ages. I have a lot of fun providing interactive and creative play/learning activities and really enjoy the process of getting to know a family well and being able to help out where it’s needed without instructions.
I’m capable in the kitchen and more than happy to assist with light housework and tidying.
