I have a range of hobbies and interests such as crochet & sewing, painting, guitar & piano, karate, and plan to attend university in 2026, studying to become an accountant. While my work experience is limited due to my focus on education, i am passionate about helping my community and have been looking after family and friends children since i was young. I also own three cats and a dog (greyhound x mastiff), and have grown up with 3 cats in our household at all times and i help look after them.
My mother has been working in childcare since before i was born, and i take great inspiration to her strengths and abilities. I am also in the process of getting my first aid certification.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Glenorchy for work.

Babysitter, Housesitter, Petsitter And if needed Live in Nanny/Houskeeper
Hi! I'm Naomi — 19 years old, part-time adventurer, and full-time big sister. I live in a lively household with my amazing single mum, three energetic younger siblings, and our little zoo: three cats and one very opinionated dog.
When I’m not playing games, you'll probably find me outside, chasing sunlight and fresh air. I’ve always believed that kids should get dirty, climb trees, and let their imaginations run wild. That’s how I grew up — often disappearing into the backyard forest, convinced I was a wild child raised by birds and breeze.
Exploring nature and keeping the mind active isn’t just fun — I think it's essential.
