Meet Tia: A nanny and babysitter in Paddington, QLD

I am a recent university graduate in Paddington, Brisbane. As the youngest member of my family, I have always wanted younger relatives, which led to my passion for childcare. I greatly enjoy brightening people's days and making their lives easier. My other passions include reading and creative writing. I have high enthusiasm and energy, but I also know when it's time to settle down. I am punctual and respectful, I follow any given instructions carefully and ask questions to clarify any grey areas. I don't mind long bedtime routines in the slightest, and housework is no issue. I love to have fun and play games! My speciality is story-telling. I have even written a children's book for The Kids' Cancer Project! I am fair with children and reward their honesty.

In January 2018, I began caring for a newborn girl. In October, her mother had twin girls who I also cared for. They were three months premature, causing the oldest twin to require oxygen tubes for some time. I cared for all three girls at once from newborns to ages three and four. I would feed them, change their nappies, get them to sleep, and entertain them throughout the day. In 2019 I took on a fourth girl who was one year old. My work included feeding her, changing her, bath time, dressing her, picking her up from daycare, putting her to sleep, and taking her out on day trips. For a short time in 2021, I cared for two brothers ages three and five. My duties included naps, bath time, meals, playtime, and days out. Halfway through 2021, I began caring for an eleven-year-old girl through to her twelfth birthday in early 2022. Her mother is off work for the time being, so I was no longer needed. My duties included school pick-up, chore checking, making dinner, homework help, and dishwashing. From January to February 2022 I cared for a nine-month-old boy. This position was short because the family were staying in the state only temporarily due to housing trouble. My duties included feeding, playtime, naps, baths, and assistance with learning to crawl. I have cared for many more children in short-term positions as seen on my resume.

In 2022, I moved away from home and worked as a stablehand in the hinterlands. I've now moved to Brisbane and am returning to the nanny industry.
