Hi, my name is Andie and I'm 18 years old. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Business at QUT. I work in an Office Support role and as a cross country coach for primary school (prep to grade 6) at St Peters Lutheran College (Indooroopilly), and I am looking for some extra work. Although I am not currently babysitting, I have prior experience caring for children ages 5-15. Some of my responsibilities have included homework help, bedtime routine and meal preparation, as well as fun activities such as going to the park and playing games. Although I do not have any formal experience with babies and toddlers, I am willing to learn as I love kids. I currently hold my Blue Card and Surf Rescue Certificate. The Surf Rescue Certificate covers first aid, CPR and water safety. Although I do not have a formal police check, I hold my blue card which includes police screening. Despite this, I am willing to do a formal police check if needed. I have been driving for over 1 year and I am currently on my P2 provisional license with my own car. I am open to driving in the local area with children. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, reading, walking my dogs and cooking/baking.

Dear Families, *Free Mondays 8-2 from Sept, 1-2 afternoons per week from 330-6, as well as free most days for Sept and Dec/Jan school holidays*. I'm the nanny for you if you are seeking casual/part time help from a reliable, fun and dedicated nanny/ helper/ additional family member. I am available for Mondays and on call/casual days, as I also work as a relief primary school teacher. I'm based in Brisbane and am a qualified teacher, yoga and meditation teacher, and have previous experience as both a nanny and au pair. I’m very comfortable supporting children of different ages and contributing to nurturing home environment. I was also home-schooled in my early years, which has shaped my approach to learning. I value curiosity, creativity, and emotional safety. I enjoy a mix of childcare and practical household support, including cooking (I enjoy cooking and baking), organising, and helping maintain a well-functioning home. I’m proactive, reliable, and naturally take initiative. With my family based in Canada, I’m especially drawn to homes with a genuine, respectful family feel. Ideally looking for longer-term relationships that will work with some casual teaching alongside. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, podcasts, stand-up comedy, and being active — paddle boarding, cycling, hiking, and camping. I’m looking for a role that feels balanced — where I can contribute meaningfully to family life, while building a calm, connected environment for both the children and myself. I love to play alongside with the children I care for; I like to get involved in their games to help expand on their creative ideas and extend their play. I also think it is important to involve children in day to day activities. I try to use each experience as an opportunity for the children learn about, and further understand the world around them. I apply what I have learned about child development and human behaviour to my job as a nanny. I love being involved in kids' lives and watching them learn and grow. Please contact me by phone or email if you would like to discuss how we might be able to work together and create the ideal circumstance for everyone. Current CV and references available.
