*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! I’m a 35 year old social worker with over 10 years of experience working with children. Kids love my pink hair and my bubbly, playful personality! I have worked with all ages, but I specialise in early childhood. I was a professional nanny before my Masters of Social Work, and I've also taught English and led after-school programs in France. Most recently I have worked in a residential mental health setting where mothers can stay with their children, and in out-of-home-care for teens under Child Protection orders. I'm looking for a break from my high-acuity cases and want to get back to having fun with kids! :) I love the energy children bring and I enjoy being very active with the children in my care, whether that's getting out and about to explore or doing puzzles and reading at home. Their delight in simple things inspires me to view the world with the same amount of wonder, and I love watching their personalities unfold as they grow. I am passionate about teaching emotional regulation, and my philosophy is based on positive parenting; I take a very gentle but firm approach and believe in compassion, understanding, and reasoning above all. I like to focus on child-led learning and activities, and try to nurture their development through their existing interests. I’m currently fully available for babysitting or casual/short-term nannying. I have several written references available, along with three referees that you may contact. I am based in Hawthorn but I am happy to travel. I can’t wait to meet you! Best wishes, Kimzey

Hi families! My name is Charlotte, and I’m a 22-year-old final year student at RMIT University, studying Fashion Marketing. I’m a bubbly, creative individual with a passion for working with children and helping them grow in a fun, nurturing environment. I graduated from Lauriston Girls School in Armadale in 2020, completing the International Baccalaureate. I have over five years of experience caring for children aged 8 months to 12 years. I’m confident with nappy changes, bottle feeds, adapting to different sleep schedules, and creating a stimulating environment that meets the needs of each child, as I know every little one is different. My childcare style emphasises creating an engaging environment tailored to each child’s interests and needs. I enjoy organising hands-on activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or storytime. I also love incorporating learning into play and can support homework and academic development for school-aged kids. One unique aspect of my caregiving is that I’m trilingual, with my first language being English but also being able to speak Mandarin and Cantonese. I enjoy pilates, tennis, skiing traveling, playing with my pets, exploring Melbourne’s parks and spending time with my family and friends. I believe the key to successful childcare is communication and trust, and I’m dedicated to working closely with families to ensure their children feel safe, happy, and supported. I’d be delighted to support your family - please feel free to reach out! 😊

Hii families, how are you?? Hoping you’re doing well!! I have enjoyed working with children for along as I can remember. I'm a creative, patient, reliable, punctual, caring, responsible, respectful, lovely, confident driver, active listening, proactive woman, who loves spend time with children and like to create a bond with them. I started helping my cousins to do their homework. Later, I worked at a preschool in Brazil for 2 years called '''rvore da Imagina'o' that follows the Reggio Emilia approach (if you don't know about this approach, I would love explain to you). In the school I had experience with children from 1 year to 6 years old, but I had more contact with children from 1.5 years to 4.5 years old. While i was working at the preschool i also helped to look after my 1.3 year-old goddaughter since her birthday. I usually supervised her, cooked and fed her, always tried to innovate in games to avoid screens. Last year, i moved to Melbourne and since then i work as an aupair for a 4 year old girl, who i always take to indoor/outdoors playgrounds, parks, museum, library, to ride her bike/scooter, I do some crafts, play games, try do fun activities for her age, make some delicious recipes with her. I'm good at connecting with kids and helping them learn in fun ways highly skilled in creating a warm and safe environment for children to thrive in while maintaining open communication with parents. I would love to create a bond with the kids, play with them, go for adventures, help to prepare meal to the kids, help with the kid's homework, light housework related to the kids I hold a full Australian drive license, police check, WWCC, Brazilian first aid course, where i did to work at preschool.
