Hey there parents! I'm Veronica and I'm new to Juggle street but definitely not new to working with children. I worked for a year and a half as a starlight captain (Captain Glam) at Monash Children's Hospital, and the experience was absolutely magical. It also provided me with a whole new set of skills in entertaining and looking after children and families. I am an actor with a bachelor's degree from the Victorian College of the Arts so I am passionate about nurturing creativity and storytelling. I also speak fluent Spanish! (for those with multicultural households) In my spare time, you can find me at the movies, exploring new hiking trails, playing just dance with my mates, or getting my tan on at the beach! I look forward to getting in touch and meeting your lovely family! :)

Hi, I’m Liv! I’m a 25-year-old masters student. I’m super bubbly, outgoing, friendly, and professional, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and helping them learn, play, and feel comfortable. I have 5 years of experience with toddlers, primary school kids and high school kids in babysitting and boarding house settings (England and Melbourne). My roles included picking up and dropping off at school, taking to school sport, making snacks and preparing dinner, helping with homework, staying overnight, playing games, taking on walks or other outings, providing emotional support, laundry and other light house tasks etc. For 4 years, I was also a school swimming coach, both in England and in Melbourne, as I used to be a swimmer myself. I bring a calm, responsible presence while also being energetic and playful when it’s time to have fun. My approach is very gentle, calm, and empathetic. I love being around kids and watching them grow and become more confident in themselves. I have my first aid, WWCC, CPR and police check.

I have recently graduated university, studying a Bachelor of Visual Art at the Australian National University, in Canberra. I am now working a casual job which leaves me with plenty of free time. I would love to use this time to babysit or nanny as I love children and really enjoy babysitting. I have had lots of baby sitting experience over the years, babysitting consistently through out high school and over the past few years. I am willing to work late, or early, whenever needed. I love hanging out with kids and entertaining them, wether it be planning little activities, doing craft, going to the park, helping with homework or just supervising as they relax or watch a movie. I feel confident to keep everything under control and make sure the house is in good condition at the end of the night. I have a car and I am also a good cook and feel confident making kid friendly meals. I hope I can be of any assistance.
