Meet Vanessa: A nanny and babysitter in Toowong, QLD

Hi,

My name is Vanessa and I have been doing nanny, house manager and babysitting work for over 30 years. I have been a career Nanny for about 15 years and I am looking for a permanent nanny role. I need to redo my first aid/CPR/anaphylaxis certificate, but I do have have my blue card, criminal history check, traffic history report and reference contacts from my previous families.

I am looking for a nanny role preferably on a long-term permanent part-time/full time basis (2-3 long days per week 30+ hours or permanent 4-5 days (40+ hours). I have done very long days previously (8-12+ hours per day), overnights and weekly work and can offer other hours to work around your schedule.

I am looking for full days and no split shifts. I’d also be happy to do some casual work for the short term. I have experience caring for children of all ages and I am very reliable and create a fun and happy environment for all the family.

I have lived in Brisbane all of my life and I have worked in a lot of different suburbs in and around Brisbane. I always use common sense around the house and clean up after myself and the children. I am willing to do light housekeeping (dishwasher, wipe down kitchen benches, children's washing and cooking etc) if time permits throughout the day (no heavy cleaning) but your children always come first. I am very flexible and can do long days, overnight stays and can usually do last minute emergency work if you need me to.

I have always worked for professional families (Self Employed, Medical, Lawyers, Accountants etc) and I understand that a lot of flexibility and reliability is needed when being a nanny. Please note that I am happy to have a meet and greet interview with families. If a work 'trial' is required, my time is to be paid in cash (minimum 3 hours) on the day at the hourly rate. Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.

I am a very young at heart, fun, bubbly and caring person and love doing old fashioned care with children (reading, nursery rhymes, arts and crafts, outings, cooking and much more). I honestly put my heart and sole into all of my nanny work and can offer you long term stability.

Ideally I would love a long term sole charge 1 child role, but I am open to other options.

Thank you for reading my profile. Please contact me if you want further information.
