Meet Aanya: A babysitter in Blackburn, VIC

Hi, I’m Aanya!

I’m 21 years old and a very experienced babysitter who would love the opportunity to nanny for a family looking for someone like me :)

I am a positive, enthusiastic and silly person, who finds caring for kids the most rewarding and enjoyable job in the world. I spent most of my teenage years babysitting, and have been working multiple part time nanny jobs the last 4 years post school, while also balancing a couple different tafe courses.

I have a range of experience with different families, and have looked after kids between 7 months and 12 years old. I love to read, bake, and enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family as I grew up road tripping/camping all over the country. I’m an extroverted girly girl who loves dogs, shopping (lol), the beach and walking.

I discovered my love for kids through childcare centre volunteer work as a teen, and in the last 4 years have worked both full time and part time jobs as a nanny for multiple families, gaining lots of experience. I have also completed half of my Cert III in early childhood, which has given me a bit of background in childhood development (currently deffered to spend more time working as the placements are very time consuming.)

I’ve learnt patience and empathy through caring for kids, and the importance of being warm and understanding as at the end of the day, these are childrens minds and hearts I am helping to grow, which is an amazing thing to get to experience. I love outdoor sensory play, trips to the park or taking the baby for a walk in the pram, quiet time reading books, arts and craft as well as baking with the kids. I aim to foster a creative and fun space, but also a deeper relationship where they can trust me.

I‘m super clean and organised, and have no problem doing housework, cooking meals, cleaning up after play and have experience with school drops-offs/pick-ups. I am also happy to do the occasional live-in stay and have done many before. I currently nanny Mon-Fri during the week with a couple families, but feel free to get in touch if youre looking for casual weekend help :)

I am first aid/cpr trained, and have completed the early learning education and trainings Protecting Children - Mandatory Reporting and other Obligations course. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for a child, and aim to prioritise that fully. I love working closly with parents to learn what parenting styles work for them, and how to implement any techniques into my time spent with the kiddos.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have anymore questions regarding me and my experience, or if I seem a good fit for your family. I look forward to chatting with you :)
