Meet Hannah: A nanny and babysitter in Carlton North, VIC

Hi, I'm a 19 year old currently on a gap year before commencing a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne. I am currently renewing my First Aid Certificate. Over the past four years, I have cared for children of various ages across more than seven families. I'm comfortable following family routines, preparing meals, helping with homework, and keeping things organised.

I have my own car and am reliable for school pick ups, drop offs, and extracurricular activities.

One of my strengths as a babysitter is adapting to each child's personality and each family's individual approach to parenting. I understand that every household has different expectations, and I always aim to work in a way that aligns with the parents' preferences and values.

I have a calm, gentle nature and am confident managing challenging moments such as tantrums, big emotions, or difficult transitions. I focus on helping children feel understood, supported and settled.

I genuinely enjoy engaging with children through games, imaginative play, crafts, reading, and creative activities. I'm also very comfortable with messy play, and I aim to make both play and clean up fun for everyone!

Most importantly, I enjoy building positive relationships with the children I care for. I love laughing with them, joining in the games they enjoy, and creating a warm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and supported.
