Personal Statement
An energetic, professional and highly organised self-starter who is cool under pressure with a welcoming disposition. I’m a loving energetic and highly regarded and referenced nanny, housekeeper and all-round house manager.
I thrive in a busy home that requires a Nanny or House Manager / housekeeper and genuinely adore children. I have a natural way with children of all ages and am intuitive to their unique personalities, building strong and trusting relationships in a short space of time.
I’m comfortable with all types of families and quickly adapt to a new environment. Children, babies, and dogs seem to love me, I’m definitely a baby whisperer!
I connect using creative play in an imaginative way, utilising different methods appropriate to their age. At all times I provide support to their emotional, physical, and intellectual wellbeing in a kind and compassionate manner.
I am comfortable taking care of animals, outdoor activity, parks, and kiddie yoga to entertain and tire out, assisting with better sleep, better mood, and improved brain development. I much prefer books and play over screens. Am very old school in this regard!
I intuitively understand the different wants and needs required by children and parents, but will always respect and follow instructions.
Interpersonal & Communication
Honest, kind and outgoing, by nature with a strong focus on integrity, I will always be open and transparent in my communication style.

Testimonials
Liv was the first babysitter with our daughter and she was absolutely wonderful with a caring and gentle manner, and sending regular updates. She was responsive to cues I wasn't even aware of, and was proactive with activities for the baby and going on walks in fresh air. I opened our fridge at the end of the first session, and was then surprised an immaculate fridge (it had never been cleaned so well before!) which I hadn't expected and didn't know when she'd even had time to do that.
We now have a second baby, and I've felt comfortable leaving our 8 week old with her, while it would be difficult to leave him with anyone else. Liv is clearly a very experienced nanny who takes time to understand the nature and character of each child and responds accordingly. Somehow she manages to squeeze in some household management, which means you come back to a refreshed kitchen which takes a huge load off. She keeps you regularly updated with photos. Needless to add that Liv is reliable and trustworthy, but it's one of the immediate feelings you get as enters the house.
I have been very grateful for the care she provides our children and feel that they are in very safe hands when I leave them, which I think can be no higher praise from a parent. I would highly recommend her services.

Hello Liv, is this blurb ok? I tried to post on JuggleStreet but couldn’t see an option to do that. I think you can add to your profile though which I am happy for you to do. Thanks! Catherine

Liv has cared for our two sons (10yrs and 1yr) on an ad hoc basis over the last 12 months. She is always responsive and highly dependable. From the first time we met, I could tell instantly she had a wealth of experience caring for children across all ages and capabilities. She asked the right questions and showed a genuine interest in our boys. She has always been able to settle our 1yr old son even when overly tired or needy, which is particularly amazing given Liv is only with us ad hoc. I have no hesitation in recommending Liv.

Liv started with our family in February this year and has been a wonderful addition to our household. We have three children (7months, 3.5 and 5.5), however Liv has predominantly looked after our 7 month old baby Summer while Max and Lily have other commitments. (From 4 months old)
Liv has a beautiful gentle nature and is fantastic with Summer. I feel very confident in leaving my precious baby in her capable hands. She sends me photos and videos while I’m out to reassure me that Summer is happy and which I love to receive.
Liv is very efficient and reliable and as well as looking after Summer she has been such a great help around our home. You can tell that she has a lot of experience working in different households as she just knows what needs to be done to help make life easier. She has spent time helping me declutter and spring clean our kitchen and bedrooms. Week to week she does some laundry and general tidying etc.
Liv is amazing and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for some babysitting help.

Liv was a welcome part of our family for several months at the beginning 2020. I have 2 boys, aged 4 and 6, and Liv worked with me two days a week to get them to kinder and school respectively.
Her resilience to the job was amazing – both my children have behavioural issues and yet Liv kept returning to help me. The little one can be particularly GRUMPY and Liv spent most of her time with him. Her calm demeanour was greatly appreciated. Liv would take the kids out adventuring locally and worked on winning them over. No mean feat!
In addition, Liv was also my savour around the house. It was so lovely to have another “Mum” around to tidy up and notice things that needed doing, and just do them. She also spoke to me very gently about my growing collection of odd socks and suggested that I may need to let them go. It still makes me chuckle.
I trusted Liv with my children and house and would have no hesitation in recommending her to other families with small children. I only ended our relationship as COVID-19 hit and the world was thrown into chaos.

Liv began helping us in early July2021 ‐ just before stage 4 lockdown. Liv has been a breath of fresh air in these uncertain times. We are a very busy household with three boys aged 8, 6 and 3. They all take time to warm to new people and feel comfortable in particular our eldest son.
Liv won them over with her gentle nature and stories. Liv has juggled home schooling with our 6 year old whilst entertaining our 3 year old and meeting the food requirements of our 3 growing boys!
She has also been a great help to me with laundry, cleaning and tidying and dinner preparation.
Live shows great initiative and has tried to make the days more exciting such as organising Spider Man to run down our street, sourcing Tree House books or washing cars with the boys. Se’s just a great all-rounder. She is also very respectful about being in our home and is incredibly trustworthy.
Liv shows good insight such as knowing when it is time for fresh air for the boys.
We wish Liv all the best. Please feel free to contact me on my mobile below to discuss further.

Olivia has been employed as a housekeeper and nanny for our family since July 2020.
We are a busy family of five, with three boys now aged 6, 9 and 11. My husband and I work as veterinarians, and run our own business, so we are very dependent on Liv’s assistance for our household to function efficiently.
Liv is kind, thoughtful, honest, reliable, mature and an excellent communicator. She sets clear boundaries and routines, and is kind but firm with the children, which they respond very well to. We absolutely trust her with our family and home.
When she started with us my youngest son was in kindergarten, and she was so wonderful with him, reading stories, building creations out of boxes and playing with him.
Liv is highly organised, energetic and efficient and I’m always amazed at how much she achieves during a shift. Duties include picking up the boys from school, caring for them, laundry, food preparation, shopping and organising. In addition, Liv looks after our dog and maintains our house while we are away.
Liv really goes above and beyond in her role, and I would find her very difficult to replace were she unable to continue with us. An example of this is when she had to take leave for several weeks. Before she left, she advertised and interviewed nannies for us and found an excellent short term nanny to replace her until she could return.
I can highly recommend Liv, and any family lucky enough to employ her would benefit from her experience and expertise. Please do not hesitate to contact me with further questions or queries.

Our daughter was asleep, but Liv had such a warm and gentle personality we can’t wait for her to look after our daughter while she’s awake. We felt so comfortable leaving the house with her there, she even tidied our fridge and cupboards, did the washing up and hung out some washing from the machine! Absolute gem.

Liv has been really good. Although my children didn't meet her as it was a night shift, I am sure they would love her lovely and gentle manners. Liv was very punctual in reply to my messages and she sent us regular updates about how the night was going.

Liv was absolutely amazing. Straight away we could tell she was experienced and comfortable. Our two year old is a covid baby and gets upset when we leave. Liv knew exactly how to ease the situation by taking her out on her bike when we left. Our ten year old said Liv was his favourite babysitter ever. Liv cleaned the kitchen and did some much needed reorganisation of the cupboards. We couldn’t recommend her more. We came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left and two very happy children.

We engaged with Liv at the eleventh hour to help nanny our 6yo and our 6 month old. From our very first conversation over the phone to meeting in person some 3 hours later, she’s been so warm, genuine and lovely to deal with! My 6 month old who is a Covid baby and usually quite wary of strangers immediately warmed up to her. Liv also made us feel really comfortable and assured by sending us hourly updates, pictures and even made a list of the baby’s feed and nap times for me since it was our first time working together. She also found the time to clean out our very embarrassing refrigerator and cutlery drawer! I highly recommend Liv and would not hesitate to engage with her again! Thanks once again, you were a lifesaver Liv!

Liv was amazing with our 2 year old. She made an extra effort to get to know him via facetime as it was a once off babysitting while we were in Melbourne. He was really happy and went through his normal night time routine. Liv kept us updated frequently and even unpacked the Dishwasher.
