Babysitters in The Patch, VIC

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I’ve had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines. My style is warm hearted, kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I practice meditation and mindfulness which flows through to my work and allows me to maintain peace and calm when faced with challenges. I am encouraging and enthusiastic with children, which allows them to blossom and shine in their own unique ways. I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard. I also enjoy outings to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Scienceworks, the Museum, the local Library and many more adventures when time permits. I've worked as an au pair in France, a volunteer teacher in Nepal, and a nanny and babysitter in Melbourne for over 10 years. I also love working with neurodivergent people and am currently working part time as a disability support worker. I have my own ABN and insurance that covers all aspects of my work in both the disability and nannying/babysitting sectors. I can invoice through my business for casual or short-term roles, but I'm also open to employment terms and rates for long-term roles. I have a reliable car with room for all the seats, I'm willing to travel, and I can provide solid references. I've also had a lot of last minute bookings so I'm very comfortable just jumping in with families that I'm meeting for the first time! Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in finding that perfect nanny or babysitter to suit your family.
