Hi! My name is Matilda, and I’m a 21-year-old energetic and outgoing Journalism student looking for a babysitting or nannying role.
I’ve worked with children since 2022 across a range of settings:
Babysitting: I’ve cared for a regular family’s little boy since he was around 12 months old, and in 2025 I also looked after an 8-month-old baby.
Learning Support Officer: St Joseph’s Primary School, Hawthorn, supporting children aged 5 and up from all backgrounds and with a range of needs.
Swimming instructor: Xavier College, teaching children aged 12 months to 8 years.
Early learning centre: supporting children’s development through play, activities and music.
Volunteering: Twice a year I volunteer with disadvantaged Indigenous children and families on the Gold Coast and in Sydney, running activities and supporting their wellbeing. This June–July I also travelled to Bhaktapur, Nepal, where I taught health and wellbeing to a full class of primary-aged students.
Study: I’ve completed 14 units of child psychology at Deakin University, which gives me a solid understanding of child development and behaviour.
Qualifications and checks: First Aid and CPR, anaphylaxis training, Bronze Medallion (surf life saving), police check and a full driver’s licence.
As a babysitter, I’m fully present with the children. I give them my undivided attention and encourage creativity and play so they’re never bored. I also like to leave the home tidy and help with any housework that needs doing.
Availability: Three days a week, and I’m quite flexible with which days and times, so I’m happy to work around your family’s schedule.
I’d love to send through my resume and references. You can reach me on 0448 444 439 or at matilda.duncan@icloud.com.
Thank you so much!
