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 childās personality, stage, and family routine. Babies and young children are my specialty ā 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, kidsā 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.
Iāve worked with a wide range of Melbourne families ā medical professionals, sole parents, LGBTQ+ families, surrogacy families, high-profile households, and families navigating separation ā 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.

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
Peter & Lou ā (Albert Park 2 years)
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
