Activity summary
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. Message me anytime, happy to answer questions!
