Hello, I’m a nanny and babysitter in North Fitzroy with more than a decade of experience in all aspects of childcare for every age, including live-in sole care. I've looked after three children, five fur-babies and one bird all at once and another time four brothers after-school… Currently I’m still chasing and being chased by kids as they head of to primary school after watching them grow up through the pandemic. Imaginative and role play are some of my favourite activities as well as any opportunity to draw, make art, learn and read stories. Some afternoons I’m watching kids swim and play basketball or just catching up quickly before they head to bed. I’m more than happy to clean, cook and fold washing - whatever needs doing. With some room in my timetable it would be lovely to meet and assist another family.
