Hello, I’m a 26-year-old nanny from Bogotá, Colombia. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience caring for babies and young kids. In Colombia, I worked as a nanny for a 6-month-old baby and truly cherished every moment spent with her. After moving to Melbourne, I continued working as a babysitter with several families: • 2023: Cared for a 3-year-old girl for 2 months. • 2023–2024: Looked after two boys, aged 2 and 5, for 11 months. My responsibilities included preparing their meals, feeding them, playing, taking them to the park, and bathing them. • January–February 2025: Cared for an 18-month-old baby in Melbourne. Duties included preparing and feeding meals, taking him for walks, playing with him, and putting him to sleep. Over the past two years, I’ve worked with more than three families, and the parents are happy to provide references about my work. I’m currently available to start working from August 4th, as I’m on a short holiday at the moment. I now consider myself more of a casual nanny, as I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Marketing. My university follows a block model, so my schedule changes every month and a half. I typically have most afternoons free, and I don’t attend classes every day — usually only two or three times a week — which gives me a relatively flexible schedule. I am a responsible, caring, and dedicated nanny who always strives to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for children. In addition to childcare, I can assist with meal preparation, homework help, and engaging in fun and educational activities.
