| Currently in my second year of university studying Nursing/Midwifery at UQ St Lucia. My end goal is to become a successful midwife as I absolutely love working with mothers and their children! Although it requires a lot of hard work, I find it to be a very rewarding and beautiful career choice which I believe resonates with many parents on here looking for someone who is passionate about children, hardworking, trusting and dependable! I currently live with my Aunty, Uncle and 5 year old niece, Gracie, who I have a very close bond with. Caring for her and many other children of similar ages, I understand the balance needed between responsibility but also getting to know the kids and have fun with them! I believe I am an ideal candidate who both you and your kids would love as a nanny/babysitter and feel as though they can get along well with. Looking forward to meeting you all!

| Hi families! I have been studying full time while competing my placement at a school for the last year. Here I was part of a creative art therapy program, providing counselling and support for students with various needs. Prior to this I completed placements at an NGO working with children under 5 in various play and learning groups. I have been trained in child management programs circle of security and the nurtured heart approach. During this time I also have worked for a nanny agency in Brisbane, where I worked casually babysitting for various families. Previous to this I worked with 2 other families as a regular nanny 1-2 shifts per week for up to 12 months.

| Hello! My name is August. I grew up with Montessori style education and love helping children learn through play. I discovered I loved working with children after being the designated family babysitter. I was a girl guide and have experience with children in need of additional support, especially ADHD and ASD. I have grown up with both, and although I have learnt to manage them very well now, I remember what it was like to have such a busy brain as a kid. Using this, I’m able to deescalate potential meltdowns very quickly, use strategies to engage your child in homework and support them in general. I am patient, energetic, creative and fun. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty if finger painting is your child’s favourite hobby! I have a blue card, and I’ve almost got my P plates, but have transportation in the mean time. I’m also comfortable with day trips to the Queensland Museum or Art Gallery, local parks, or walks through nature. I know a bunch of recipes for quick and easy meals, I clean up after myself and am willing to learn what your child’s favourite snacks/meals are, to keep them healthy and happy!
