Hello, I'm Jess! I'm a 30-year-old Australian with 6+ years of professional nanny experience, both in Perth and abroad. Currently, I am in my final year of a Master of Teaching (Primary) at Curtin University.
I have a wonderful regular family who I nanny for during the week outside of studying, so I am only available for casual evening babysitting at the moment. i have full evening availability, every evening, last minute bookings welcome! Please note that we must meet in person prior to booking, I will not accept last minute babysitting jobs from strangers for the sake of my own safety. But please feel welcome to arrange a meeting with me, even if you do not have a particular babysitting date yet. Once we have met and sorted out the details, you are welcome to message me anytime to babysit! :)
I have loads of references from local families in the Freo community, so just let me know If you would like to chat with any of them. I understand that trusting the care of your kids with a babysitter is a big deal and I always want to do all I can to make you feel comfortable and assured that your children are in safe and capable hands.
I genuinely adore working with children and am passionate about child development (which is why I decided to study teaching). I have a patient, understanding, and flexible approach tailored to each child's needs, and I am passionate about supporting children's emotional growth and creativity. I love to incorporate nature, art, creativity and movement into my work with children.
I am experienced caring for children as young as 3 months and up to 14 years, as well as having extensive experience of children with Down Syndrome and other special needs. I pride myself on being thoughtful, trustworthy and reliable.
I look forward to meeting you and your lovely family!
