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.

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.

*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, 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. References available and some viewable here on the site I use in the UK (https://www.childcare.co.uk/profile/360667).

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! 😊
