Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable and caring 26 year old from the UK who has previously worked as a Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner (NHS) with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology & a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Child Wellbeing Practice. I have also worked across mainstream and specialist school settings, including those with autism, ADHD, SEND and other complex needs. Alongside my professional experience, I have been babysitting since I was 15 and genuinely enjoy working with children. While in Sydney, I also worked as a nanny for a family with two children and helped care for their 10-week-old puppy. This gave me further experience supporting a busy family with day-to-day childcare and responsibilities. I’m warm, responsible, active and approachable, and I’m happy to help with school and nursery pick-ups, activities, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines and general childcare. I also have a Working with Children Check (WWCC) and access to a car most of the time. I’m now based in Melbourne from 26 September until 2 November and am available for casual, short-term or regular babysitting and nannying during this period. From 2 November onwards, I have a full-time position secured, but I’ll continue to be available for evening, weekend and occasional/ad-hoc babysitting, so I’d be very happy to build an ongoing relationship with a family outside of my working hours. I’m passionate about creating a safe, positive and enjoyable environment for children, and I’d love the opportunity to support a family in Melbourne. Please feel free to get in touch - I’d be very happy to have a chat and answer any questions! 😊

Hi there! My name is Lucy, I’m 28 years old and moved over from London at the start of last year. I was working for the Civil Service there on policy legislation but fancied a change of pace in sunny Australia- I love it here! I have had lots of babysitting experience before (and love kids!), including working for a lovely family (boy and girl aged 3 and 6) when I first arrived and have 3 brothers and sisters so I am used to a little chaos at times. I have also worked with children, including disabled children, teaching them to ride horses on the beaches in England (although I’m sure not as nice as the beaches in Australia!). I’m easy going, responsible but love to have fun and would love to find a nice babysitting job in Aus. Open to all ages/personalities/requirements!
