Hi families! My name is Eliza and I’m 19 years old. I’m currently in my second year of a Bachelor of Arts at Uni Melb, majoring in creative writing with a minor of media and communications, looking to progress into a master of education (early learning/primary) and have the amazing experience of living on residence at St Marys college.

Spending time with these kids is what I most look forward to each week!

I have my license and a car and am very confident with driving kids around for necessary pick up and drop offs and I am more than capable in multitasking to create a suitable and fun environment for both kids as I am aware that needs and interests vary with age, hobby’s and personalities of each kid! I have experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, and am comfortable adapting to different sleep schedules for each child, nappy changes and bottle feeding. I am also quite a good English student (hence the creative writing major) as well as art, music. Humanities basic maths and science, and would love to help out with any homework if your child is of school age :). I have been fortunate enough to work casually with multiple families over the past few years caring for children ranging in ages and believe myself to have obtained a great ability to find and execute the best warm, encouraging environment for each different child.
