I am currently a year 11 student at a private girls college. I am fluent in English and can speak simple Italian.

CHILD EXPERIENCE: I have 10 nieces and nephews, aged 3-12 that I have spent lots of time with, and love being around. I am great at following instructions and am happy with cooking, cleaning, entertaining, or doing whatever you and/or your child requires. I have had my learners for over a year now and am able to pick up kids from school or kindergarten if needed. (My mother or father will be supervising me for the drive). Tutoring - I can tutor reading, writing and maths, as well as flute lessons for an extra fee.

ANIMAL EXPERIENCE: I have been around all kinds of animals and have helped in their training, specialised care and everyday needs. I have had a dog and a bird of my own previously, who were the light of my life; them not being around anymore makes me cherish every moment I have with other animals. I have worked particularly with young puppies up to much older dogs, and understand the responsibilities of caring for each individual animal. When it comes to pet walking, I’m super flexible. As for pet sitting, I prefer having animals at my own home, unless I’m only doing check-ins and/or feeding. I am super organised and love a tidy space, so I’m more than happy to clean up your pet’s litter box, bedding/cage, toys, etc. aswell.

Reliable Uni Student Offering Childcare & Pet Care

Hi, I'm Nanthini (Nans)! I'm a Masters student at Monash University based in Clayton, and I love working with both kids and animals. Growing up, I looked after my younger siblings and cousins regularly, so I'm comfortable with feeding, bedtime routines, and keeping kids of all ages entertained through games, drawing, and storytelling. I'm patient, responsible, and take safety seriously, always checking allergies, emergency contacts, and house rules before parents leave.

I also bring 6 years of hands-on pet experience, having grown up with a dog and a cat back home, plus time spent caring for animals while working in hospitality. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals, and confident handling nervous or high-energy pets.

I'm currently looking for casual and part-time work around Clayton and neighboring suburbs, with flexibility on weekends and weekday evenings, and more availability during university breaks. Whether you need a babysitter, a pet sitter, or someone to help with light household duties, I'm reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely enjoy the work.

Caring, Reliable Dog Lover Who Treats Every Pet Like Family

Hi! I’m a 15-year-old dog lover who truly believes dogs are family, not just pets. I have experience caring for dogs, and every dog I’ve looked after has loved being around me. I also have a family who loves animals, so your dog will be in safe and caring hands.

I have a friendly 6-year-old male Cavoodle, Coco. Sadly, my other Cavoodle passed away in a car accident, and since Coco lost his best friend, he would love the chance to make new furry friends now that he’s an only dog. Before she passed, she had 9 puppies that we lovingly cared for and raised, making sure they were happy, healthy, and well looked after. I understand how special dogs are and will treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A New Year's Eve Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a NYE babysitter so you can celebrate worry-free while your kids are safe and happy.

1. Book early

New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest nights for babysitters, so secure yours weeks (or months) in advance.

2. Expect higher rates

Many babysitters charge holiday premiums, so be prepared to pay extra for the special occasion.

3. Check experience

Choose sitters who are confident handling late nights and possibly multiple kids or group settings.

4. Confirm availability

Double-check that the babysitter is comfortable staying past midnight and knows when you’ll return.

5. Ask about overnight care

If you plan to stay out late, consider booking an overnight sitter for everyone’s peace of mind.

6. Provide entertainment

Stock up on kid-friendly activities, games, and maybe a little “kid’s countdown” to keep children happy.

7. Share bedtime routines

Write clear instructions so the sitter can smoothly handle bedtime even if you’re away at midnight.

8. Exchange emergency contacts

Make sure they have your number, a backup contact, and details for neighbors or family nearby.

9. Set house rules

Go over screen time, snacks, and whether the kids can stay up later than usual for the occasion.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re giving up their holiday evening, consider a bonus, a meal, or a thank-you gift to make them feel valued.
