Hello wonderful parents and caregivers! I have looked after my 3 nieces since I was 17, from when they were babies all the way to the beautiful teenagers they are now. I have also nannied for families in New York when I lived there, and have continued to nanny on and off in Melbourne since my return. I pride myself on being one big loving fairy clown. As an artist and experienced filmmaker, I regularly draw and use crafts, love acting and creating characters, so I’m lots of entertainment for kids. I also dog sit so if you have pets as well, that’s no problem! Looking for a family to connect with, one that I can fit in nicely with and become an important part of a growing child/children's’ life. References are available on request.
Outside of my nieces I have experience nannying for 3 different families - 2 in New York and one on and off for the past 5 years here in Melbourne: New York Sitter 2016. Travelled with kids (boy and girl, ages 5&7) to after-school extracurricular activities, prepped with snacks, travel on public transport home, make dinner while they do homework. Would often help with homework, I completed a double major of Art History and Asian Studies at university so have strong skills in Literacy/English, Art, and History. Nanny 2016-2017. Looked after a 3yr old girl morning to dinner time 3 days a week. Duties included cleaning, food prep, activities, nap time. My favourite thing was to read her bedtime stories making up different accents for the characters, which was something my mother did for me. Melbourne Family 2022 - Recent. After-School Care. Would pick up girl from school and care for her during the evenings. This was from the time she was 9 until recently (age 11). This would include occasional holiday/date night care also.
