Meet Crystal: A nanny and babysitter in Burwood, VIC

Hi families!

My name is Crystal, and I’m a third year university student at Deakin University. I am currently studying the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, with the aim of getting into Medicine. I’m passionate about caring for others, which is reflected both in my studies and in the way I approach working with children (calm, attentive, loving).

Over the past year, I have worked as an after-school and school holiday nanny for two boys aged 4 and 6. My afternoons with them have been spent doing trips to the playground and pool, baking, games and lots of outdoor play. I also joined the family on an overseas holiday, supporting the children and acting as an extra set of hands, so I’m very comfortable in both home and travel settings.

In addition to this, I have very hands-on experience as a mother’s helper with my two nephews (currently 19 months and 15 weeks old). When my sister returned to work, I was responsible for sole care of her eldest from five months of age 2x days a week. Since welcoming her second baby, I have regularly cared for both boys together while she attended brief appointments, ran errands, had a shower or caught up on sleep! I also act as an extra set of hands for her with attending any appointments or adventures out of the house - even if that’s just to assist in the backseat during car trips. I am therefore very comfortable working alongside parents as a mother’s helper and would be thrilled to be a part of your family’s journey.

I hold a current WWCC and first aid training, a driver’s licence (green P’s) and my own car.

If you think I would be a good fit for your family, please reach out as I'd love to hear from you!

Many thanks,

Crystal
