Hello, I'm Lotta! I'm a Australian-Finnish babysitter and textile artist based in North Carlton, where I've lived for 14 years. I'm responsible, playful, creative, warm, and nurturing with a gentle diaposition. My experience with children ranges from birth to 11 years old, including caring for 2 under 5 for three years. I love supporting parents (new and seasoned) by providing a safe and stimulating environment for their little ones to grow and flourish. I priortise learning each individual families needs and offering tailored support, especially when it comes to sleep and learning styles. My expertise includes: • Sleeping and settling, overnight feeds, handling EBM/formula, introducing solids. • Bathing, nappies, administering basic medications (coloxl, vitamin D drops, panadol etc...). • Sensory, nature, musical, sport, and art activities. • Supporting milestones (rolling, crawling, walking, introduction of solids). • Excursions (museums, parks, gardens, story-time, farmers markets, Ceres). • Happy to capture special moments throughout the day 📷 to share with you (only if wanted of course). If you work from home or need downtime, I'm also available to care for your children at my child-safe, Montessori-inspired North Carlton terrace house. I'm comfortable with all pets (no allergies) and I have two half Devon Rex cats called Atlas & Sol. 🐾 I have a WWCC, and completed a Pediatric First Aid training course at The Royal Children's Hospital several years ago (planning to take again in July '25). Happy to contribute to the running of your household by cleaning up after play activities, meals etc... and other light housework (laundry, dishes and surfaces etc). I enjoy organising, so also very happy to help if there is an area or room that needs a fresh pair of eyes or special attention. As I don't have my full drivers licence, all excursions and pick-ups will be via walking or public transport, which I am well experienced navigating while with little ones. As my refrences can tell you. 📅 Feel free to reach out to me with any enquiries, including time/day requests not currently listed. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! 🌞🏳️‍🌈
