Nanny | Baby & Toddler Specialist | Babysitter | Family Support *Rates below* I provide warm, reliable care for children from 8 weeks through secondary school, tailored to each child’s personality, stage, and family routine. Babies and young children are my specialty — I create a calm, nurturing space where they feel safe and encouraged to thrive, including newborn care from 8 weeks and helping several children transition into childcare. I also help households run smoothly: meal prep, kids’ laundry, tidying, light organisation, shopping, and pet care. I have experience with neurodivergent children and families, and bring a calm, consistent approach grounded in clear communication and trust. I’ve worked with a wide range of Melbourne families — medical professionals, sole parents, LGBTQ+ families, surrogacy families, high-profile households, and families navigating separation — and adapt to what each one needs. Non-smoker, non-drinker, highly organised, and dependable. Families describe me as calm, proactive, trustworthy, and a genuine addition to the household.

Hi, I'm Grace. I've had regular nannying/babysitting experience with children aged 0-13 over the last 14 years. I enjoy getting to know the wee ones in my care, helping them develop their interests and finding fun things for us to do together. I've recently spent time travelling, volunteering and discovering new cultures. I am now in Melbourne and available for nannying/babysitting. A highlight for me was when I worked as an au pair in Melbourne in 2016 for 6 months with 3 children (3, 2, newborn). This was both a challenging and rewarding position during which I developed a very strong bond with the children and the family while greatly increasing my childcare experience. I've worked with many different families and have experience with twins, boisterous toddlers, balancing babies with attention needing siblings, juggling more children than hands and generally having lots of fun and laughter with these wonderful little people. I have also worked in children's retail and trained in shoe fitting, so am happy to give footwear a wee once-over check anytime. My roles within different families usually involve: nursery drop-offs, supervising breakfast, lunch and dinner times, taking children to, and participating in, their clubs/classes, organising bedtimes, occupying children with various activities e.g. going to the park, playing in the garden, reading books, indoor crafting etc. If relevant to the role, I like to find places to take the children that suit their interests but also broaden their outlook and engage their attention, so am always on the look out for fun events to attend. I have also worked with babies using signs for communication and am happy to use this skill again as it was always very rewarding to watch their understanding develop. I also have a 13 year-old niece whom I adore and have spent the last year travelling the world with. My sister and niece often join me for adventures. While we travel, we worldschool using the places we visit as the classroom and the people we meet to broaden our cultural perspectives.
