Babysitters in Prahran, VIC

Hi beautiful families! :) I'm a 26yo warm, caring, patient, and professional individual whose greatest joy is knowing I am being of genuine help. I have just moved back to Melbourne and ready to meet my newest little friends! I love being around children and have been, in both work and life, from a very young age. From helping raise six younger siblings, to leading at Sunday School/creche, then studying Education Support, and finally spending the last two years managing an organisation that runs school holiday programs, camps and in-school workshops for children of all ages, this is what I love to do. No job is too big or too small, I am here to make a parent's hectic life just that little bit easier (hopefully more than just a bit). :)

Aside from these duties I brought the children to the park, the zoo, played board games and did arts and crafts with them. I was also responsible for household duties including laundry, vacumming, mopping, sanitizing surfaces and tidying. I am the oldest of three and, my youngest sibling being 8 now so I have years of looking after children in my own family as well! I also worked in a children's residential home. A bit about myself, I love nature and hiking, spending as much time as I can in nature while living in a city! I also spend my free time doing creative writing, yoga, pilates and swimming.
