Babysitters in Merricks, VIC

Hey families, I’m currently looking for additional hours for day/ evening work, weekend or date nights. I’m also interested in casual babysitting for one offs. I’m confident caring for little tots, as most of my experience has been with under 1 to 5 years. However, I feel comfortable caring for children of all ages. I love all things nature, adventures, story telling, picnics, crafts, painting, baking and groovin to the wiggles. I’m happy to assist with meal prep, light house work, laundry and any additional chores to lighten your load. I’m a qualified Vet Nurse and will happily get your furry friend out on a walk and sniff. I will provide your child with nurture, warmth and support. And most of all do it with a smile. I’m more then happy to come over for a cuppa and meet you and the children to discuss the role and expectations before starting. Please message me if I can help out 🌻

I have been a nanny and childcare worker with over 20 years experience plus I have my own primary school aged children. I am currently looking for 1- 3 days. I have a diploma in Counselling and Auslan. Finished my graduate certificate of family violence last year. In the last 5 years of my nanny career my jobs came from word of mouth around bayside so I haven't used this sight for a very long time. I have GREAT references, first aid, police check, working with children's check and a car. In the past I have had families with as many as 4 children, even one with 2 sets of twins ages 6 mths and 2 yrd so I have no worries when it comes to chaos and doing 10 things at the same time. I'm a FANTASTIC nanny, I love to be outdoors, dance and sing to music, beach trips, depending on the age I've had a lot of children who love train trips, or just sitting around watching the birds fly by and playing in the dirt. I have had many families though out my time of being a nanny and I totally believe the best way for a family and a nanny to work successfully is communication. I look forward from hearing from you. Thanks Louise
