Meet Melissa: A nanny and babysitter in Balwyn, VIC

I’m a calm, bubbly and adaptable person who genuinely loves working with kids. I have years of experience supporting children from primary through to secondary school, and I currently work as a support worker, which has strengthened my ability to build trust, manage different behaviours, and adapt to individual needs with patience and understanding. I’ve also worked as an au pair, so I’m confident managing routines, household responsibilities, and a range of different personalities. I’m easygoing but responsible, and I focus on creating a fun, safe environment where kids feel comfortable, understood and supported. I also have a degree in Nutrition Science, so I’m happy to help with meal prep and encouraging healthy habits. I love staying active, getting creative, and building strong, positive connections with the kids I care for.
