Freyja Harris
Brisbane,QLD
Summary
My name is Freyja Harris and I am 22 years old from Christchurch, New Zealand. I moved to Brisbane at the end of June 2023 and began Au pairing/nannying to get a grasp of the city before I commit to making the permanent move. After being here for nearly 7 months I love the lifestyle and opportunities Brisbane brings. Through my previous work experience in New Zealand, I have brought the skills I have gained into my current work looking after two amazing girls in a new city. I would love the opportunity to grow in a new work environment and test my skills in any way I can. With the work I am currently doing, my organisation and adaptability have reached a new high as I am looking after not only myself but two kids 5 days a week.
