Nanny | Infant & Baby | Babysitter | Family Support — rates below 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.

We now have a second baby, and I’ve 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.” Dr Sian R. & Dr Dave H. – Veterinarians (Elwood 5 years) “Liv 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.” Peter & Lou – (Albert Park 2 years) “Liv has been with our son since he was 8 weeks old. 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.” 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. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your family’s needs or arrange future bookings.

My name is Stefanía, I am 27 years old, and I am from Colombia. I am a lawyer ⚖️ with a focus on Human Rights 🎓 and have a diploma in children's rights. 👦🏻👧🏻 I arrived in Melbourne🇦🇺 in December 2023 to study English until March 2025. I have two younger sisters aged 14 and 13 years old 👩‍👧‍👧 ✅ Experience with children and adolescents ✅ Driver's license ✅ Police Check ✅ Working with Children Check ✅ Intermediate English 🚫 Non-smoker 🚫 No alcohol consumption 🗓 Availability: weekdays from 3 pm onwards and full-time on weekends 📍 South Yarra 👩🏼 I am a loving, respectful, cheerful, committed, proactive, attentive person with experience in the care, well-being, and safety of children. I enjoy creating and/or finding fun and educational activities to keep them entertained while ensuring a safe and loving environment at all times. Additionally, I am reliable, confidential, and above all, very happy. I love dancing, singing, swimming, cooking, and I am more than willing to help with household chores when needed. 🏠 🪴🛠 🐣 I have 14 years of experience working with children. Among my responsibilities have been assisting with homework, school drop-off and pick-up, attending parent-teacher meetings, bedtime routines, organizing activities, meal preparation, etc. 🏫 In 2019, I volunteered with the AIESEC organization for five months, where I was responsible for being a teacher at a foundation. This experience taught me valuable skills, including managing large groups of children who require attention, patience, and love. Additionally, in 2020, I completed a diploma in children's rights. All this experience has allowed me to understand that children are the best life teachers. 👩‍👧 Additionally, one of my sisters, whom I love deeply and have taken care of, is hyperactive and has attention deficit. Therefore, I have been surrounded by energetic children my entire life, making me an expert in handling their needs and emotions. Thank you for reading my message. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask. 😊
