Meet Lilly: A nanny and babysitter in Parkville, VIC

Hi! My name is Lilly; I’m 24 years old and currently in my final year of a Bachelor of Nursing. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, cooking, and staying active—whether that’s going to the gym or walking in nature. I’m a dedicated, reliable, and highly organised worker who thrives both in group settings and when working independently.

I chose nannying because I have a genuine passion for nurturing children in a way that supports their growth, confidence, and individuality. I find it deeply rewarding to create an environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered to explore the world with curiosity and independence. Building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families is at the core of my approach. I’m committed to fostering a warm, supportive atmosphere that encourages learning, development, and emotional well-being.

I recently finished working with a wonderful family, caring for three girls aged 2, 4, and 6, over a period of nearly three years. I built a strong and trusting relationship with them, and they are happy to provide a verbal reference upon request. I’m now looking for new opportunities where I can continue to make a positive impact.
