Experienced, caring nanny in Mapleton
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR: I would like to work as a nanny between 1 and 3 days a week. I would love to look after newborns, babies or toddlers and grow with the family. PAST JOBS: I have had a love of caring for children from a young age and I began regular babysitting jobs from the age of 12 (2014) 2018 - 2020 I worked as a casual sailing instructor teaching children, adults, and people of varying ages with disabilities. 2020 - 2021 I was a full-time nanny to a 3 day old baby. In 2021 I began nannying 3 days a week for a gorgeous family with twin babies and a toddler. Dec 2023 I had a fall from one of my horses. My recovery took much longer than expected so they found other care for their children. Since July 2024 I have been working 1 day a week as an NDIS support worker. MORE ABOUT ME: I am 22. I am independent, easy to get along with and reliable. I always maintain a calm, happy and positive attitude. I attended the Noosa Pengari Steiner School until year 8 and began studying Occupational Therapy at UniSC as a head start student when I was 15 (which I stopped to pursue nannying). I have completed the Possums Sleep Program. I like to use gentle parenting methods. I would love to work with a similar minded family. I have many wonderful references to provide upon enquiry.

I have 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience. I particularly love the newborn stage and keeping little ones happy and comfortable as they learn about the world. I also enjoy creative play and coming up with craft ideas. I often bring my own activities that align with the families and children’s values and interests. I like cooking and learning new recipes but prefer to do it when I am not under time pressure. I have fun including children in household activities if or when possible.
