Rare hands-on live-in experience caring for infant twins. Playful, kind, mature and energetic. I wish to provide a pair of helping hands!

Hello Mums and Dads, I'm an Aunty to my beautiful 20-month old twin nieces who have taught me how much I have to offer children!, and this is why I wish to provide an added pair of helping hands to other parents in the best way I can!

Experience: I recently 'lived-in' with a family member and their twins/my nieces for a four month period. During this time, I provided daily hands-on care and support both on my own and with the help of the family nanny - who I gleaned much first-hand wisdom ... moreHello Mums and Dads, I'm an Aunty to my beautiful 20-month old twin nieces who have taught me how much I have to offer children!, and this is why I wish to provide an added pair of helping hands to other parents in the best way I can!

Experience: I recently 'lived-in' with a family member and their twins/my nieces for a four month period. During this time, I provided daily hands-on care and support both on my own and with the help of the family nanny - who I gleaned much first-hand wisdom from, including her 20 years of nannying infants and young children.

The hands-on support I provided during my live-in involved....:

1. Leading the 'morning shift' (e.g., waking, nappy changing, dressing, preparing bottles and breakfast and feeding);

2. Getting the day started in alignment with the twins' routine ahead of the nanny arriving;

3. Providing support to the family nanny throughout the day;

4. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and bottles preparation;

5. Assistance with the evening routine and taking over on certain weekday/weekend evenings;

6. Caring for the twins on my own, including overnight;

7. Assistance with bathing the twins;

8. Settling the twins back to sleep;

9. Assistance with the twins' laundry and ensuring their room was tidy and prepped for nap time and sleep time;

10. And of course, playtime!, with a focus on intuitive interaction and playful learning! (I was also involved with the twins developmental milestones, such as learning to walk.)

My experiences with young infants - including my nieces, as well as friends who have little ones - have been an amazing gift!

My style is playful and interactive, while also loving and calm.

I am responsible and practice a safety-first approach at all times - I take my role as a carer seriously.

I definitely have the energy to keep up with the little ones!
