Meet María Sol: A nanny and babysitter in Burnley, VIC

Hi! My name is Sol. I see myself as responsible, easy-going, optimistic, empathetic, grateful, and creative. I am a Clinical Psychologist with a master's in Social Work, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Counseling. In my free time, I love traveling ✈️, cooking 🍳, listening to music 🎶, camping 🏕️, dancing 💃, and playing soccer.

I work as a support worker in aged care and disability services in Australia on Thursdays and Sundays, and I study full-time on Wednesdays. However, I’d be delighted to care for your children because I truly love caring for people! 💕 Working with children is especially meaningful to me because their joy is contagious. 😊 I’m excited to fill my days with that joyful energy!

Back in 2017, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in an exchange program in Argentina, where I worked with children from vulnerable and low-income backgrounds. My role was that of a psycho-pedagogue, and even with limited resources, I saw firsthand how meaningful learning can transform lives. This experience sparked a deep passion in me to find innovative ways to provide children with lasting learning opportunities.

Along my journey, I’ve realized how powerful play can be as a teaching tool. Play helps me connect with children on a deeper level, touching their hearts and minds in ways that traditional methods sometimes miss. I am dedicated to integrating play into my future work with children.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of working with children in many different ways—from face painting at parties as a nanny to offering professional child psychology services. My genuine interest in working with children comes from a strong belief that their well-being and growth are vital for our shared future. I sincerely hope to contribute to the nurturing and development of every child I have the privilege to care for.

Please rest assured that I will approach my responsibilities with the utmost care and dedication, making sure your children receive all the support and guidance they need to thrive.
