Hi there 👋 I’m 24 and have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up on a family farm with five siblings, so caring for others, pitching in, and keeping busy has always been second nature to me. From a young age, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and teamwork—and I carry those values into the way I care for children today. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a nanny for a family with three children, supporting them with school runs, homework, playtime, meal prep, and bedtime routines. When the kids were happy and occupied, I’d also help with household tasks like tidying, laundry, or preparing meals—always keeping the children’s safety and happiness first. I’ve also gained lots of experience babysitting during weddings and special events, caring for children of all ages and making sure they felt safe, included, and entertained throughout busy days. In 2023 and 2024, I spent my summers as a counsellor at Camp Walden in New York, working with large groups of children in a fun, fast-paced environment. I loved creating activities, supporting children emotionally, and building strong bonds. In 2024, I was honoured to be awarded Counsellor of the Year out of 200 staff, which was a real highlight for me. Families describe me as caring, reliable, and fun. I love the outdoors, arts and crafts, storytime, and finding creative ways to keep children engaged. I’m currently based in South Melbourne and have flexible availability. I’d love to get to know your family and help your children thrive. 💛

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 dear families, my name is Mery Arroyo from Colombia. Last year I completed my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care at Acacia Fitzroy Crèche Centre. During my placement, I spent two weeks in each room (babies, toddlers, pre-kinder, and kinder). I was fortunate to be trusted with responsibilities such as changing nappies, assisting with feeding babies, maintaining clean and organized rooms after meals, and setting up toys and learning spaces. I also planned activities for the children and actively participated in all of them. My priority has always been the safety and wellbeing of every child in my care. I received excellent feedback from the centre director and the entire team, which I truly appreciate. Currently, I am studying my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. I recently completed the first part of my placement (120 hours) at Guardian Prahran Centre, where I also received very positive feedback from the room leader, parents, centre director, and staff, which was very rewarding. I love movement and being active, so I won’t just sit and watch your children play. I truly enjoy engaging with them, playing together, and supporting their development. By the way, they usually get tired before I do 😄 Thank you very much for the opportunity to contribute and play a small part in the care and wellbeing of your children. As an added benefit, I can also support your children in learning Spanish at no additional cost.
