Nanny | Infant & Baby | Babysitter | Family Support I provide warm, experienced, and reliable care for children from 8 weeks of age through to secondary school, tailoring my approach to each child’s individual personality, developmental stage, and family routine. My greatest passion is caring for babies and young children, creating a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, secure, and encouraged to thrive. I have extensive experience supporting families during those important early years, including caring for newborns from 8 weeks of age and helping several children successfully transition into childcare. Beyond childcare, I enjoy helping families keep their homes running smoothly. When appropriate, I can assist with meal preparation, children’s laundry, tidying, light household organisation, shopping, and pet care, allowing parents to come home to a settled household. I have experience supporting neurodivergent children and families and maintain a calm, patient, and consistent approach. I value respectful, evidence-based childcare, clear communication, and building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Over many years, I’ve worked with a diverse range of families across Melbourne, including medical professionals, sole parents, LGBTQ+ families, surrogacy families, high-profile households, and families navigating separation. Every family is different, and I pride myself on adapting to their individual needs. I’m a non-smoker, non-drinker, highly organised, emotionally regulated, and dependable. Families regularly describe me as calm, proactive, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely becomes a valued part of the household.

She is organised, innovative, loving, hardworking, and completely trustworthy. We’ve relied on her for full-time care and overnight stays, and we’ve never worried for a moment. We cannot recommend her highly enough.ā€ If you’re looking for an experienced, calm, and dependable nanny who genuinely enjoys supporting both children and parents, I’d love to hear from you.

*I have a safe car (a Volvo sedan) I have an excellent driving record with Zero accidents & no demerits in 40 years of driving. *My most recent experience has been caring for a 10 week old baby & his 2 1/2 yr old brother which I really enjoyed until the family left Victoria to go travelling in Australia. The Mum has given me an excellent reference I can share with you. 😁 Hi Families, ✨ It's so lovely to meet you here!✨ I've been working exclusively as a Nanny for over 14 years now yet I have a lifetime of experience caring for infants from newborn, toddlers & up to teens. I am the 1st born of 5 children & was very hands on helping my parents with my younger siblings as my Mother worked as a Nursing Sister & my Father was often traveling overseas in his job as an International Airline Captain. As was common in those days I was left home alone caring for my siblings with the youngest only a baby as she is 12 years younger than me. I have 30 1st cousins so I've been surrounded by children all my life. I've studied Nursing & did Paramedic training as well as working in the Medical field being employed in 3 Melbourne hospitals & several Doctor's Surgeries. All up I've been working in the Medical field for 18 years. I have my WWCC & have done my First Aid Certificate. I have excellent checkable references & my last long-term position involved caring for 2 pre-schoolers for a 2 year term. More recently I cared for 2 young boys of 5 & 11 with the older boy having special needs. I enjoy all age groups as children can teach us so much & I love their enthusiasm for the World around them.. it's infectious!

Hi there šŸ‘‹ I’m 24 and have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up on a family farm with five siblings, so caring for others, pitching in, and keeping busy has always been second nature to me. From a young age, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and teamwork—and I carry those values into the way I care for children today. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a nanny for a family with three children, supporting them with school runs, homework, playtime, meal prep, and bedtime routines. When the kids were happy and occupied, I’d also help with household tasks like tidying, laundry, or preparing meals—always keeping the children’s safety and happiness first. I’ve also gained lots of experience babysitting during weddings and special events, caring for children of all ages and making sure they felt safe, included, and entertained throughout busy days. In 2023 and 2024, I spent my summers as a counsellor at Camp Walden in New York, working with large groups of children in a fun, fast-paced environment. I loved creating activities, supporting children emotionally, and building strong bonds. In 2024, I was honoured to be awarded Counsellor of the Year out of 200 staff, which was a real highlight for me. Families describe me as caring, reliable, and fun. I love the outdoors, arts and crafts, storytime, and finding creative ways to keep children engaged. I’m currently based in South Melbourne and have flexible availability. I’d love to get to know your family and help your children thrive. šŸ’›
