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 child’s personality, stage, and family routine. Babies and young children are my specialty — 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, kids’ 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. I’ve worked with a wide range of Melbourne families — medical professionals, sole parents, LGBTQ+ families, surrogacy families, high-profile households, and families navigating separation — 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.

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.

Hi, I'm Grace. I've had regular nannying/babysitting experience with children aged 0-13 over the last 14 years. I enjoy getting to know the wee ones in my care, helping them develop their interests and finding fun things for us to do together. I've recently spent time travelling, volunteering and discovering new cultures. I am now in Melbourne and available for nannying/babysitting. A highlight for me was when I worked as an au pair in Melbourne in 2016 for 6 months with 3 children (3, 2, newborn). This was both a challenging and rewarding position during which I developed a very strong bond with the children and the family while greatly increasing my childcare experience. I've worked with many different families and have experience with twins, boisterous toddlers, balancing babies with attention needing siblings, juggling more children than hands and generally having lots of fun and laughter with these wonderful little people. I have also worked in children's retail and trained in shoe fitting, so am happy to give footwear a wee once-over check anytime. My roles within different families usually involve: nursery drop-offs, supervising breakfast, lunch and dinner times, taking children to, and participating in, their clubs/classes, organising bedtimes, occupying children with various activities e.g. going to the park, playing in the garden, reading books, indoor crafting etc. If relevant to the role, I like to find places to take the children that suit their interests but also broaden their outlook and engage their attention, so am always on the look out for fun events to attend. I have also worked with babies using signs for communication and am happy to use this skill again as it was always very rewarding to watch their understanding develop. I also have a 13 year-old niece whom I adore and have spent the last year travelling the world with. My sister and niece often join me for adventures. While we travel, we worldschool using the places we visit as the classroom and the people we meet to broaden our cultural perspectives.

Dear Host Family, Hi, How are you? I hope you’re doing well. First, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Marina Yamamoto and I’m from Nagoya Japan. I used to live in the United States for 2 years. I was taking care of 2 boys(5&8years old) and 3 girls(4,7,10 years old) I was an au pair! I’m a very hardworking and trustworthy person. My child care experience is fun and exciting, I have experience in volunteering and after-school care. I took care of a total of 70 children. And that's a total of 2390 hours. Children's ages range from 2 to 14 years. I played with the children, helped with their homework, made various things with origami, went to the park and play there, and saw the cherry blossoms. And of course, we take care of them and keep an eye on them all the time. I like taking care of kids because they are so cute I also learned something with every kid that I’ve taken care of. If you are interested in Japanese culture, I can teach you the correct pronunciation of Japanese, the order of writing kanji, and calligraphy. Many Japanese people have an accent, but I can speak the standard language. I studied at a voice actor school for about 3 years, so I can speak beautiful Japanese. I took very strict lessons to become a voice actress, so I don't have any bad sounds in Japanese. And I can speak the Osaka dialect and Nagoya dialect because of my parents' influence. Let's study together if we have the opportunity. Nowadays, I have many opportunities to teach kanji in after-school care, so I am also good at teaching hiragana, katakana, and kanji. In addition, I have been learning calligraphy for about 15 years, so I can write beautiful Japanese. I would be happy if I could share more about my life experience with you. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with you. I think I meet all the criteria for becoming a nanny. I promise to share my knowledge with your children and do my best to help your kid to grow as an independent and strong child like me. I am planning to go to school for EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. I hope to see you soon. Thank you very much.
