Meet Monique: A nanny and babysitter in Cherrybrook, NSW

I am a compassionate and driven 22-year-old emerging social worker in my final year and final semester of a Bachelor of Social Work at Western Sydney University. Alongside my studies, I have spent the past three years successfully running my own activewear business, which has strengthened my leadership, organisation, creativity, and initiative.

Through my role at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, I have gained advanced skills in case writing, client assessments, initial contacts, conference coordination, and supporting families through highly sensitive and complex situations—experience that many students my age do not typically have access to.

With over eight years of experience working with children and families across schools, preschools, clinics, community spaces, and private homes, I have developed strong communication skills, emotional maturity, and a trauma-informed approach. I am extremely family-orientated, values-driven, and committed to creating safe, supportive environments for those I work with.

I am passionate about social justice, client-centred practice, and helping children, young people, and families thrive. I bring dedication, compassion, and a strong work ethic to every role, and I am eager to contribute meaningfully to a team and the wider community.
