Meet Ebony: A nanny and babysitter in Richmond, VIC

Hi, my name is Ebony and I am 27 years old.

I am the youngest of 4 children, have 4 nephews and am surrounded by many young cousins. I have been working as a nanny for the past 9 months along side my hospital job, which im leaning towards getting out of.

I’ve worked in Emergency at The Royal Melbourne Hospital for the past 4 years as a clerk and before this, in a plastic surgery and babysitting my nephews.

I have four nephews that I look after often, day and overnight and believe I am great with them.

When I was 20-21, I would have my baby nephew overnight, once or twice a week whilst my sister worked.

I am great with taking kids to the park, bike rides, reading books, entertaining at home, baking etc. I’m good with managing nap times and keeping to routine.

I can cook and loved to be organised with food prep/food shopping. I love to get kids involved with baking - which I use to do with my grandma from a young age.

I see myself as a good multitasker with a high level of patience. I am great with communicating and take on any feedback provided in a positive manner. I consider myself as a respectful and trustful person, I strive to achieve my best and enjoy seeing children happy, healthy and laughing.

I have experience with settling babies when they are crying, feeding bottles and solids, getting babies/toddlers to sleep and dealing with the odd tantrum.

I believe I was brought up in a clean and respectful family environment where laziness wasn't an option. I started household chores at a young age, cooking, ironing, cleaning etc which I think has benefited me as I have grown into an adult.

I plan to join the police force next year.

I would love to get involved with a permanent family and build my reputation, but I am also willing to help out casually. I have a great reference from my previous nanny family,

I hold a current licence and drive an SUV.

Happy to answer any questions you may have, meet in person or provide any more info you require.
