Meet Matilda: A nanny and babysitter in Hawthorn, VIC

Hi there ! My name is Matilda and I am an 18 year old girl studying a bachelor of law/arts at Monash university. I previously attended Lauriston Girls School and graduated in 2023 with an ATAR of 96.3, so would be competent in helping with the completion of homework and/or tutoring if needed.

I have a lot of experience babysitting and working with kids as I was previously a learn to swim instructor at Xavier college for children ages 3 - 16. I find joy in working with kids and love caring for, playing with and teaching children. I have received my bronze surf life saving certificate and have completed first aid and CPR training as well as an anaphylaxis course as a requirement for my previous job as a swimming instructor.

As much as I loved this job working with children, I made the decision to leave it as the hours were too short and as a university student I had to consider whether it was worth it. This has led me to apply to this website looking for a job as a babysitter with longer and more regular hours, which fit my university schedule.

As a babysitter I would make an effort to be present with the children, ensuring I am giving them my undivided attention and would encourage creativity and playfulness, so that they are never bored. In my past experience I have prioritised maintaining cleanliness in the home and completing any housework that needed to be done.

My availability's are all day Thursday and Friday until about 7 PM, as well as on the weekend during the day. However, I am going away on the 19th of June until the 26th of July so I will have no availabilities during this time.

My hourly rates are very flexible and I would love any opportunity for part time work !

I am happy to provide references from families that I have previously babysat for upon request.

Thank-you !
