Meet Nethmi: A babysitter in Carlton, VIC

Hi there families 👋

This is just a small snapshot of one of the people you’re considering trusting with your child — I’m a qualified early childhood and primary teacher with over 10 years’ experience working across kindergartens, primary schools, and special education settings. I have recently moved into a casual teaching position to have some flexibility in my days, while still doing what I love.

My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and grounded in safety, connection, and respect. I support children to build confidence, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation through calm guidance, play, and co-regulation. I bring art, music, storytelling, dancing, and laughter into each day — alongside early literacy, numeracy, body safety, sensory supports, and social learning.

I’ve worked closely with families and professionals across a range of complex needs, including Child Protection Services, NDIS, Cohealth, and allied health teams. I’ve supported children through challenging behaviours, medical incidents, and big life transitions — always with care, empathy, and professionalism.

I also offer homework support up to Grade 4 and love helping children who may need that little bit of extra time, patience, or understanding. Most of all, I aim to be someone both you and your child feel safe with — consistent, kind, fun, and trustworthy. ☺️

P.s. Happy to provide my full resume and references post initial contact.
