I’ve cared for a diverse range of families including age/values/background. I own a car in Melbourne so am able to do drop offs and pick ups or go on little adventures/outings. I’m very comfortable with nights spent inside and winding down preparing for bed but am just as happy to venture outdoors and explore the day. Love going for walks in the park/garden while also love time inside watching movies/reading/playing games/making art. I love animals and am no stranger to mess or a chaotic environment! I absolutely love to bake and craft even in my own time so I’m happy to bake or meal prep if that is something the family would like. Whether baking is an activity I share with the family or an exciting surprise I bring to the table (no pun intended). I can easily adapt to the families lifestyle and quickly figure out what works best. I’m confident with any tasks thrown at me, especially if shown how the family likes things handled so I can fit into the household smoothly. I’m all for random but effective idiosyncrasies! I’m very patient and.I can adapt easily to new situations or new changes in a family’s life. I see myself as a generally calm person and don’t tend to panic if something goes awry.

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.
