Hi there! I’m a 35 year old social worker with over 10 years of experience working with children. Kids love my pink hair and my bubbly, playful personality! I have worked with all ages, but I specialise in early childhood. I was a professional nanny before my Masters of Social Work, and I've also taught English and led after-school programs in France. Most recently I have worked in a residential mental health setting where mothers can stay with their children, and in out-of-home-care for teens under Child Protection orders. I'm looking for a break from my high-acuity cases and want to get back to having fun with kids! :) I love the energy children bring and I enjoy being very active with the children in my care, whether that's getting out and about to explore or doing puzzles and reading at home. Their delight in simple things inspires me to view the world with the same amount of wonder, and I love watching their personalities unfold as they grow. I am passionate about teaching emotional regulation, and my philosophy is based on positive parenting; I take a very gentle but firm approach and believe in compassion, understanding, and reasoning above all. I like to focus on child-led learning and activities, and try to nurture their development through their existing interests. I’m currently fully available for babysitting or casual/short-term nannying. I have several written references available, along with three referees that you may contact. I am based in Hawthorn but I am happy to travel. I can’t wait to meet you! Best wishes, Kimzey

Hi dear families, my name is Mery Arroyo from Colombia. Last year I completed my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care at Acacia Fitzroy Crèche Centre. During my placement, I spent two weeks in each room (babies, toddlers, pre-kinder, and kinder). I was fortunate to be trusted with responsibilities such as changing nappies, assisting with feeding babies, maintaining clean and organized rooms after meals, and setting up toys and learning spaces. I also planned activities for the children and actively participated in all of them. My priority has always been the safety and wellbeing of every child in my care. I received excellent feedback from the centre director and the entire team, which I truly appreciate. Currently, I am studying my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. I recently completed the first part of my placement (120 hours) at Guardian Prahran Centre, where I also received very positive feedback from the room leader, parents, centre director, and staff, which was very rewarding. I love movement and being active, so I won’t just sit and watch your children play. I truly enjoy engaging with them, playing together, and supporting their development. By the way, they usually get tired before I do 😄 Thank you very much for the opportunity to contribute and play a small part in the care and wellbeing of your children. As an added benefit, I can also support your children in learning Spanish at no additional cost.
