Izzie
Brief info
My name is Izzie, and I am twenty-eight years old from Australia. I have five years of childcare experience, ranging from formal nannying during my university studies to casual babysitting and family care in more recent years.
During this time, I have looked after children aged between one and five years old and have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with each of them while creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where they can thrive.
Coming from a large and lively family, I have always taken great joy in caring for my younger siblings and cousins. I understand the importance of strong, foundational relationships during early childhood development and the positive impact these bonds can have. My natural interest in childcare deepened when I moved to Melbourne for university, where I worked as a nanny caring for a three-year-old and a five-year-old three afternoons a week after school. My responsibilities included school and childcare collections, meal preparation, light household duties, and planning creative and engaging activities.
I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love their energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm for life. More recently, I have provided casual babysitting for close family and friends alongside my full-time professional role. Through these experiences, I have consistently demonstrated strong communication and organisational skills, reliability, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities calmly and effectively.
I am now having a career break in the Alps and fulfil a lifelong dream of living in a ski resort. I am excited to meet like-minded people and immerse myself in the culture of this special place. I love spending time outdoors—skiing, hiking, and trail running—and I look forward to combining my passion for nature and childcare to create meaningful and joyful experiences for families.
“I am pleased to provide a reference for Izzie, who has been babysitting for our family on an ad hoc basis over the past two years. She has cared for our two children — Rowie (3 years old) and Hazel (1½ years old) — since Rowie was about six months old. Izzie is reliable, professional, and hardworking, and I can always count on her to show up on time and ready to help. She is resourceful and flexible, easily adapting to the children’s routines and any last-minute changes. She manages both children beautifully — keeping them engaged, safe, and happy. Izzie is an excellent timekeeper, polite, and knowledgeable, and she’s always willing to help wherever needed. We feel very lucky to have Izzie’s support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a caring and dependable babysitter.”
"I couldn’t recommend Izzie enough for looking after children of any age.
In our time of having her help with Rex she has been nothing but reliable, professional and hard working. Not only does she have a friendly and understanding personality, her work ethic and attention to details are amazing.
We left her with a list of how we wanted Rex’s day/nights to run and she always followed every step. We know he was always well looked after and never has any doubts of her capabilities. There had never been any issues with flexibility and time keeping, she was always happy to help out. On top of that she was always well presented and had wonderful manners."
