A fun-loving and a patient child carer at your service

| Hiya! I’m Nichole and I’m pretty much a chill, fun-loving, and a patient nanny. I also work as a childcare educator. I have experience supervising children aged 6 weeks to 14 years. I am flexible and happy to work within 3000, 3338 and other nearby suburbs. Hope to meet you and your awesome family!

Nichole helped me over three afternoons and evenings to care for our 7 month old baby and three year old toddler. She bonded with both children very early. She is very proactive and ensured that feeding, changing, baths and bedtime ran smoothly. I will definitely be using Nichole again and I highly recommend her."

Childcare worker with 7 years experience

| Hello! My name is JoJo and I'm a caregiver with 7+ years professional experience within the childcare industry! I'm incredibly experienced when it comes to working with youths! During high school I worked as a counselor at two summer camps for young children. Throughout college I expanded into babysitting, and ended up providing consistent care for two children beginning at ages 5 and 7, and going until the kids were 9 and 11. During this time I also worked in a local afterschool program teaching kids between kindergarten and 5th grade how to read, write, and do math. After graduating from college I worked for a year as a kindergarten instructor as part of an afterschool program for children with special needs. When working with kids I love to play boardgames, walk in nature, be active (I played soccer for over 10 years!), do arts and crafts, cook fun meals, read, and generally be silly! I'm ideally looking for a longer-term babysitting job with a family though I am also open to doing single gigs! I'm super flexible on time and can work around pretty much any schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your child!

What an absolute delight! My 7 year old was thrilled to spend quality time with Jojo. She found common interests and was very attentive. A great success. I highly recommend Jojo."
