Meet Lemiel: A nanny and babysitter in Waurn Ponds, VIC

Hi there! I’m a 25-year-old High School English and Humanities teacher with two years of classroom experience, but I’ve always found that I connect best with kids when I take a more creative, non-traditional approach. I’m energetic and love getting to know what a child is actually interested in so that our time together is genuinely engaging rather than just watching the clock.

While I work with teenagers during the day, I’m very comfortable with all ages, from toddlers through to primary schoolers. My background also includes several months at Ballarat Specialist School, which has made me very patient and inclusive when supporting children with diverse needs or specific sensory requirements. Outside of teaching, I’m an artist and a musician, so I love bringing that creative energy into babysitting, whether we're starting an art project or playing music together. Of course, as an English teacher, I’m also more than happy to help out with any homework or literacy support if needed!
