Meet Olivia: A nanny and babysitter in Coburg, VIC

Hi, my name is Olivia 😊

I have over 5 years of nannying experience, working across a mix of key long-term roles as well as short-term and casual positions, including covering for other nannies when families needed temporary support. I’ve cared for children ranging from 5 months old through to primary school age, and I genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families.

Much of my experience has been in long-hour, routine-based roles (typically 8am–5/6pm), particularly with children under five. One of my longest roles involved caring for a little boy full-time for over a year, from infancy until he turned two. I really valued the consistency of this role and developed a close, nurturing bond with him.

I’m very comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing meals, planning age-appropriate activities, and taking children to sports, classes, and outings. I enjoy keeping children engaged with a balance of structured activities, outdoor play, and free play, and I always prioritise their safety, emotional wellbeing, and routines.

Alongside nannying, I’ve also worked as a children’s swimming teacher, teaching both group and private lessons to children of various ages. This experience has strengthened my focus on safety, patience, and confidence-building, and I enjoy incorporating my swim knowledge where appropriate.

Before becoming a professional nanny, I completed several years of casual babysitting for local families, which is where my passion for working with children began. I’ve worked both independently and through agencies, am fully vetted, and have strong parent references available.

I’m the second eldest of four girls, which has made me very family-oriented. Growing up in a busy household helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and a nurturing nature. I previously studied a Bachelor of Science at Monash University and am currently taking a break from university.

I’m a caring, energetic, friendly, and reliable person who genuinely loves being around children. I enjoy planning activities, outdoor play, reading, and helping children grow into their own unique personalities. I’m also happy to assist with light household duties, including cleaning, meal preparation, bathing, and running errands.

A bit about me: I love playing sport (netball and football), spending time in nature, cooking, listening to music, staying active, and trying new things.

I’m more than happy to provide additional information and parent references. I hold a current First Aid certificate, a Working With Children Check, and a full driver’s licence with my own car.
