Dr Nadia C. ā Paediatrician (Port Melbourne)
āLiv was the first babysitter with our daughter and was absolutely wonderful. We now have a second baby, and Iāve felt completely comfortable leaving our 8-week-old with her. She is incredibly experienced, caring, proactive, trustworthy, and somehow manages to refresh the kitchen and household while caring for the children. I feel our children are in very safe hands. This is the highest praise I can give.ā
Dr Sian R. & Dr Dave H. ā Veterinarians (Elwood 5 years)
āLiv is a true professional with a wealth of experience. She is kind, thoughtful, honest, reliable, mature, highly organised, and wonderful with children. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role, and any family would benefit enormously from her experience and expertise. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.ā

āLiv has been with our son since he was 8 weeks old. She is organised, innovative, loving, hardworking, and completely trustworthy. Weāve relied on her for full-time care and overnight stays, and weāve never worried for a moment. We cannot recommend her highly enough.ā

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to provide a reference for Liv H, who has been working with our family as a nanny since August 2025 and continues to do so.
Liv currently cares for our youngest daughter, M, one full day each week, and during school holidays she also looks after our eldest daughter, B. Our girls are now 18 months and 5 years old. Throughout her time with us, Liv has also cared for both children together for full days and has completed multiple overnight stays with both girls in her care. She has always demonstrated a calm, capable and nurturing approach, and our children are extremely comfortable and happy with her.
Liv is confident with all aspects of childcare, including preparing and serving meals, food preparation for the family, bathing, settling, and ensuring the children are engaged in age-appropriate activities. She is incredibly creative and always has thoughtful ideas for play, walks, outings and activities that keep the girls entertained, stimulated and well cared for.
One of Liv's standout qualities is that she consistently goes above and beyond. When the children are settled or napping, she is proactive around the home and happily helps with household tasks such as washing, kitchen clean-up, tidying, and food preparation. She also has an exceptional ability to declutter and organise spaces, including cupboards and drawers, and has genuinely made our home feel more manageable and organised.
Coming home after Liv has been with the children is always such a nice feeling because everything has been taken care of, allowing me to focus on spending quality time with my girls.
Most importantly, Liv is reliable, punctual and completely trustworthy. Her overnight care of our daughters has been particularly memorable for our family. On several occasions, we have been able to go away knowing the girls were in exceptionally capable hands. This was especially meaningful when M was still very young and required overnight feeds, and Liv handled everything with confidence and care, giving us complete peace of mind.
In addition to childcare, Liv has also assisted our family with pet sitting while we have been away, including caring for our dog both at our home and at her own.
Liv has become a trusted and valued part of our family, and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any nannying position. She is an outstanding caregiver whose warmth, initiative and professionalism make her a wonderful asset to any household. We feel incredibly fortunate to have her supporting our family and would rehire her without hesitation.
Please feel free to contact me via email if you would like any further information.
Warm regards, JC.
