Meet Emma: A nanny and babysitter in Rowville, VIC

Hi my name is Emma, I am 19 years of age and looking for a part time job that I can maintain throughout my studies. I am hoping to enrol in nursing next year which will start in February.

I have done a lot of babysitting of my younger cousins and also for friends and neighbours. I also have a brother who is 7 years younger than me. He suffers from several health conditions including asthma and anaphylaxis so I am comfortable looking after children with varied needs. My exposure to this has given me a greater insight and appreciation for people and what they go through, I understand the power of inclusion and I have a much greater perspective on how this should be done. The lessons I have learnt from this will be invaluable to me in both professional and personal situations.

My family raised me to love sports and the outdoors, to appreciate everything around you and to not take simple things for granted. Basketball, soccer, dancing and cheerleading were my sports growing up. I play basketball with my friends on a Tuesday and Wednesday night. My brother plays football, basketball and cricket in the summer and I enjoy going to watch and support him. I understand the commitment to a team sport and after school training requirements hence I am aware of the time management needed for children after school when they have to juggle homework and other activities.

I have grown up with animals my whole life and I currently have a 18 month old Labrador/Golden Retriever. I am comfortable to help out with dog walking and pet needs.

I have a bright, bubbly and nurturing personality, which makes me a fun and loving person to be around. I am honest and trustworthy. I enjoy cooking and I am more than happy to help out with shopping, baking for school snacks and dinner preparation if needed. I feel confident to manage any dietary requirements needed.

My aim is to make the juggle of life easier for working parents who can be reassured their children are being well cared for. I also want the children to feel comfortable and look forward to having me as a part of their routine.

I have my WWC and First Aid/CPR certificates.

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, I hope you will consider me and look forward to being able to help!
