Meet Giovanna: A nanny and babysitter in Alexandria, NSW

Hello! My name is Giovanna, 25 years old, and I’m an experienced nanny with a diverse background in childcare, both in Brazil and here in Australia. I have a genuine passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth and development, and I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for your little ones.

Experience:

Brazil:

Cared for children aged 3 and 6 years old, engaging them in educational activities, playtime, and meal preparation.

Cared for infants aged 4-6 months, focusing on their developmental milestones, feeding, and maintaining a consistent nap schedule.

Australia:

Infant Care: Previously cared for a baby aged 7-8 months, helping with developmental milestones such as crawling, playing, and bottle feeding. Managed the baby's morning nap routine.

Toddler Care: currently taking care off a girl 2 years old. Responsibilities include:

Preparing and feeding her breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks.

Taking her to activities like the library, parks, and outdoor play.

Engaging her in developmental activities, including music and dance.

Managing her nap schedule, diaper changes, and occasional baths.

Assisting with light household chores such as laundry, dishwashing, and vacuuming.

Special Needs Care: previously working two days a week with 4-year-old twins, one of whom has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Responsibilities include:

Engaging them in play and developmental activities, focusing on balance, writing, memory, and speech for the twin with special needs.

Taking them to the park, managing bath time, and preparing meals (breakfast and lunch).

August-September/24: Three times a week, I was responsible for caring for two boys (ages 6 and 8). I start my shift by cleaning the house, which includes washing and putting away dishes, vacuuming, folding laundry, washing and drying clothes, and tidying up the bedrooms and making the beds. I also feed the dog and take it for a walk. At 3 pm, I pick the boys up from school, provide them with a snack, take them to the park, entertain them, play games, and assist with their homework.
