Meet Vanessa: A nanny and babysitter in Lower Plenty, VIC

Hi, I’m Vanessa 😊

I’m 22 and currently studying to become a primary school teacher.

I’ve worked for two years as a summer camp counselor in the U.S, providing 24/7 care for kids aged 6-17 during their 9 week programs.

Last year, I ran arts and crafts activities and lived with girls aged 12-14. This year I worked closely with groups of children ranging from 6-10 year old as a general counselor, helping them through everything from daily routines to tricky emotions and building confidence along the way.

I also regularly babysit for a few local families with kids aged 7, 8, and 11. I’m confident doing things like bedtime, preparing meals, and just making sure everyone’s happy, safe, and having a good time while you’re out!!

I have a driver’s license, my own car, a police check, first aid training, and even a U.S. lifeguard certificate.
