Hi everyone, I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend babysitting shifts, and I’m based in South Melbourne area. Growing up with a mum who was a childminder, I gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for children from a young age. I also regularly look after my 2-year-old niece, which has helped me build even more confidence and understanding around little ones. I have a calm and friendly nature and I am always free for a chat if you think I am a suitable match for your family. I am a qualified occupational therapist with practice based experience in paediatric settings, including working at summer camps for children with additional needs.
I’ve been around children most of my life, growing up in a home where my mum worked as a childminder. This gave me early, hands-on experience caring for children. I also have professional experience, including a two-month university placement as a paediatric occupational therapist, where I supported children’s development through play-based activities. In addition, I spend six weeks working at a summer camp for children with additional needs. What I find most meaningful about childcare is building trust with children and creating a safe, supportive space where they feel confident and cared for. I’m comfortable working with children of all ages and enjoy adapting to meet each child’s individual needs. I also hold up-to -date First Aid and CPR training.
